P5 IST-2000-25436 UNITE, “Ubiquitous and Integrated Teamwork Environment” (2000-2002) UNITE has produced research and development on co-operative workplaces and their creation from a unified co-operation platform. This platform is the key system component which provides the facilities for devices, components, and networks to fully interact, despite the possible original inherent heterogeneity, and which takes care that a uniform and ubiquitous view is presented to all team members regardless of their physical location. UNITE has addressed systems requirements and architecture for seamless integration of virtual and physical workplaces. UNITE has built on technology convergence among communication and collaboration media as well as different network technologies. It has exploited the ability of appliances to notify their existence and characteristics to the workplace environment.   More information at the European Commission website here.   Partners ISCTE COVENTRY UNIVERSITY FRAUNHOFER GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FOERDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG E.V.

FashionMe aims to enable fashion shopping with individualized avatars in virtual 3D environments. Customers can take advantage of the possibility to generate a lifelike avatar of themselves and use it to test designs and models of clothing in virtual fitting rooms via the Internet. Furthermore there is not only the possibility to try on standard confections but to use the lifelike avatars to order measure-to-measure products from retailers world-wide over tele-service connections like the Internet. All consortium partners are professionals in their working area: technology providers, researchers, software and application developers, and fashion retailers. Together in the consortium a FashionMe virtual fitting room prototype will be developed and presented to the public as a result of the project work. Objectives: The FashionMe consortium will develop and produce a concept and toolset of a virtual fitting room which will be scalable for the customers’ needs and wishes, and also the technical equipment. FashionMe will offer the possibility of Fashion Shopping with individualised 3-D Avatars interacting and moving in virtual 3-D environments in the Internet, as well as a CD-Rom based 2-D selection toolset, and scalable applications between this high-end and low-end solutions. The main objective is to find possibilities to offer personalised fashion shopping environments to select different styles and models, and to enable the customer to order made-to-made clothing without travelling and several try on sessions. The personal individual avatar gives enough information for the producer to make clothes, that fit. More information at the European Commission website here.

European platform for the development of the MPEG-4 standard

Este projecto tem como objectivos a sistematização da informação disponível sobre a comunidade cigana, o levantamento e tipificação das medidas direccionadas para esta comunidade, o conhecimento das representações sociais desta população na comunicação social e o conhecimento aprofundado das dinâmicas e factores da sua exclusão/integração na sociedade portuguesa.

O principal objectivo deste projecto é o de fazer uma análise comparativa sobre o modo como  jovens de diferentes países europeus encaram na sua actual fase de transição para a vida adulta a conciliação entre trabalho e vida familiar - face às condições sociais actuais de problemas de emprego e de mudanças de estilo de vida,  tal como são vividas num conjunto de diversos contextos europeus.
