of that old adage, “a meeting is where minutes are taken and
hours wasted,” the IST project <a
href="http://www.amiproject.org/">AMI</a> (Augmented Multi-party

from the business meeting – by creating a new method of archiving
and navigating meeting content. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“Until

need to be present for a part of the meeting agenda, it’s hard to
know the right moment to join. We decided to develop technological
applications to solve these problems.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><strong><b><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Capturing meeting content</span></font></b></strong>
<br>
AMI, which was launched in January 2004, set out to record business
meetings, using a variety of digital pens, cameras and recorders to
“capture everything that happens when a number of people
interact,” says Renals. As such, it draws on an ambitious range
of technologies, including human-human communication modelling, speech
recognition, computer vision, and multimedia indexing and retrieval. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“We
developed a special meetings browser, so that the archived audio and
video data can be navigated in terms of topic, and summary and
skim-through versions can be viewed,” Renals adds. “Meeting
archives become very useful when technology can browse them and extract
targeted information.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
team has tested the AMI technology in a series of scenario meetings
with groups of business people. “We controlled what these
meetings were actually about,” says Renals. “This gave us
plenty of opportunity to evaluate the technology.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Despite
possible Big-Brother overtones, the AMI team found that people accepted
the technology very readily. “They quickly forgot the
microphones,” comments Renals. “Most people get used to it
surprisingly quickly. And there is an option for review, and you can
ask for comments to be scratched from the record – though I must
say that not many people used this option.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

to video-conferencing</font></b></strong> <br>
With AMI’s end-date of December 2006 in sight, the challenge
remained of how to use technology to maximise meetings in real time.
With this in mind, the same team set out to extend AMI into AMIDA
(Augmented Multiparty Interaction with Distance Access), a follow-up
project which applies similar technology – inexpensive webcams
and microphones, for example - to real-time remote meetings. <o:p></o:p></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
research goals of AMIDA, which kicked off in October 2006 and will run
until September 2009, are extremely ambitious, and are aimed at
creating a new type of video conferencing facility. This new facility
will combine several challenging and usually separate fields, including
qualitative human analysis, audio-video processing, multimodal
structure and content analysis, and HCI. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“In
a telephone conference, people miss the peripheral clues – things
like body language,” explains Renals. “So with AMIDA,
we’re looking at ways of using information from audio and visual
sources to compensate for this – something that could inform
people when participants look bored with a certain topic, for example.
By supplementing the experience, AMIDA could help to make phone or
video conferencing feel more natural, and thereby encourage people to
use it more. And if you just need to be present for a particular item,
then a meeting monitor can inform you when your topic is up for
discussion.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><strong><b><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Generating commercial applications </span></font></b></strong><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'><br>
</span></b>Currently, AMI is in the final evaluation phase, with
research in the form of questionnaires aimed at establishing if the
technology can actually make its users more productive. Following
evaluation, it is hoped that AMI features (and later AMIDA tools too)
will be incorporated into commercial applications. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Renals
reports that commercialisation is coming more naturally with AMI and
AMIDA than with many research projects, which all too often find
themselves stranded in the infamous “valley of death”. This
greater market readiness is partly due to the involvement of two SMEs
– Spiderphone and Visual Nexus - in the consortium from the
start. Philips Consumer Electronics is also exploring the use of
television for video conferencing with AMI/AMIDA technology. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“In
addition, we have a community of interest composed of companies like
Intel which provide feedback,” says Renals. “This makes it
easy to calibrate what we’re doing at the research level. We have
about twelve companies involved in the bigger picture. It also helps
that several of the academic partners, including ourselves, have formed
spin-off companies in the past.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
