Distel

Description

In the upcoming field of media such as VR and AR we are looking for innovative ways to tell stories. The goal of DISTEL is to create non-linear, data driven and fully immersive experiences by combining innovative AI technologies and interactive robotics with state-of-the-art VR/AR technologies.


Within the project we will work on three demonstrators which include machine learning and deep learning as well as intelligent dialog modelling to extract relevant information by using efficient data-science analyses in complex and heterogeneous databases. Based on a library of narrative story patterns and suitable multimodal interaction techniques, DISTEL supports the production of immersive storylines that create a provably positive user experience.


The interdisciplinary team includes scientific and economic partners who operate at the interface between artificial intelligence, data science, and digital media. LAVAlabs Moving Images is a very experienced project partner regarding R&D purposes, is particularly responsible for ambitious moving image productions and offers extensive knowledge about immersive visualization. The Hochschule Düsseldorf (HSD) is an experienced research partner in the fields of digital media, human-technology interaction and mixed reality. As AI experts for digital media content, storytelling and any other required machine-learning activity, the start-ups Cognigy and Nyris from Dusseldorf bring their expertise and their technologies into the project. All partners aim to refine the project’s results by using them in different follow-up projects.
