ARTTS granted EXIST technology transfer programme
ARTTS partner UL-INB submitted a proposal within the highly competive EXIST technology transfer programme of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Trading (BMWI). Out of 56 submissions the proposal was one of 16 successful ones, winning a 400,000 euro grant in October 2009; this will be used to establish a company that will develop and market software solutions for time-of-flight cameras.
The company will aim at extending the time-of-flight (TOF) technology by a gesture technology (GT), i.e. the goal is to develop a TOF-GT engine that establishes a link between TOF cameras and a wide range of interactive gesture-based applications.
ARTTS to Host Time-of-Flight Face Detection Competition
To spur progress in time-of-flight-based object detection, the ARTTS project has hosted a competition on face detection using time-of-flight (TOF) cameras. The prize for the competition was a MESA SR4000 camera.
For more information, see the competition page.
ARTTS Camera Prototype Assembled
The camera to be developed during the ARTTS project is nearing completion, and a prototype has been assembled:ARTTS at Eurographics 2009
Members of the ARTTS consortium are attending the Eurographics 2009 Conference and Exhibition. They are presenting a State of the Art Report (STAR) on Time-of-Flight Sensors in Computer Graphics.
