CARE, acronym of “Cultural experience: Augmented Reality & Emotion”, is a research project selected and cofinanced by the French Research Agency (Agence Nationale de la Recherche - ANR), whose Immersion is the coordinator. Launched in the end of 2007, it should end in 2010, and aims at applying Augmented Reality techniques to the cultural domain.
Combining human emotion and Augmented Reality techniques, CARE project took up the challenge to find appropriate hardware and software solutions to develop interaction spaces between public and culture.
The collaborative and multidisciplinary work of the 7 partners involved in the project (Immersion, ESTIA, IRIT, LIMSI, Metapages, Laboratoire Informatique de Grenoble & Gipsa-lab, Université de Technologie de Troyes) led up among other things to 2 concrete applications:
- Ballet of Biarritz: create a show in which the dancer and its shadow could act differently, to reinforce the emotional exchange between the artist and the audience ;
- Muséum of Natural History of Toulouse: make abstract concepts related to natural evolution become accessible and lively for the general public.
CARE project also permitted Immersion to focus on the possible applications of innovative tactile interfaces. Progressively, making use of the iliGHT multitouch technology and adapting it to the ergonomic requirements of the CARE project, the R&D team of Immersion improved the original concept of the Cubtile, offering an Augmented Reality solution perfectly in line with the constraints of the cultural domain (no head-mounted display required, intuitive handling, device accessible to the great majority of people).
