SERMAS
Socially Acceptable Extended Reality Models and Systems
Project overview
SERMAS (Socially Acceptable Extended Reality Models and Systems) is a research and innovation project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme under Grant Agreement No. 101070351. The project aims to develop innovative methodologies and tools to simplify the design, development, deployment and management of Extended Reality (XR) systems, with particular attention to their social acceptability and user experience.
Objectives
SERMAS aims to develop new models, methodologies and tools to make the design, development and management of Extended Reality (XR) systems simpler and more effective.
Particular attention is paid to the social acceptability of these technologies, ensuring that users can interact with XR systems in a natural, intuitive and comfortable way.
Activities and Technologies
The project addresses the development of XR models and tools capable of adapting to a wide variety of forms of expression, interaction modalities, languages, application domains, styles and intentions.
Its goal is to foster human-like interactions between people and digital systems, overcoming distrust and limitations commonly associated with human-machine interaction.
Collaboration
The project brings together an international consortium of universities, research centres and companies, including Poste Italiane, CeRICT and the Department of Computer Science at the University of Salerno.
ISISLab Contribution
ISISLab participates in the project as a partner through the 3Dify proposal: Automatically Turning 2D Human Images into Animated Customizable Avatars with Emotions, which focuses on automatically transforming two-dimensional human images into animated, customizable avatars with emotional expressions.
