Towards a back-end framework for supporting affective avatar-based interaction systems

Abstract

Avatar-based systems provide an intuitive way of interact-ing with users in the context of Ambient Abisted Living (AAL). These systems are typically supported by a diverse set of services for, e.g., social daily activities, leisure, education and safety. This paper studies the importance of specific services for two organizations, namely MRPS in Geneva, Switzerland and ORBIS in Sittard, Netherlands. Based on this study, we present the design of a backend framework that supports Avatar interaction by means of a comprehensive set of services for safe and independent living. © Copyright 2015 for this paper by its authors.
