Last Call for participation to the 8th International Workshop on Multimodal
Interfaces; July 2nd - July 27th, 2012; Supélec (Metz, France)

Registration still open until the 15th of May


After the previous workshops which had an impressive success record and had
proven the viability and usefulness of this original workshop, the 8th
edition will take place in Supélec (Metz, France). eNTERFACE workshops aim
at establishing a tradition of collaborative, localized research and
development work by gathering, in a single place, a team of senior project
leaders in multimodal interfaces, researchers, and
(undergraduate) students, to work on a pre-specified list of challenges, for
4 weeks. Participants are organized in teams, attached to specific projects,
working on free software. Each week will typically consist of working
sessions by the teams on their respective projects plus a tutorial given by
an invited senior researcher and a presentation of the results achieved by
each project group. The last week will be devoted to writing an article on
the results obtained by the teams plus a big session where all the groups
will present their achievements.

This year, participants will be provided with an especially great technical
infrastructure, the SmartRoom. In addition to basic network infrastructure
and internet access, robots (Nao, Parrot drone, Koala, Rovio and Bioloid),
multimedia devices (2d and 3d cameras, Kinect, array of microphones and even
an holophonic room) and sensors (brain computer interfaces, eyetrackers and
some biomedical sensors) will be available for the projects. For more
details, see the website.

Senior researchers, PhD, MS, or undergraduate students are now invited to
submit an application for participation at eNTERFACE'12. All those
interested in participating at the workshop should send their application by
