Project Overview

AMIRE -project is a technology project sponsored by EU IST Programme. AMIRE is about the efficient creation and modification of mixed reality (MR) applications.

The Amire project will be develop:

• best practice examples
• interface specifications
• MR gems
• MR components
• MR frameworks
• dedicated MR authoring metaphors together with
• generic design recommendations and procedures

Furthermore, authoring tools (that are MR applications themselves) will be developed in order to efficiently use MR in applications, to conceive new MR methodologies and exploit synergies when combining MR technologies in the AMIRE framework, and to establish authoring as a new application domain for MR.

Two demonstrators (a training application for an oil refinery and a museum application together with MR authoring tools) will be implemented. The first by a group of experts in order to derive an initial version of AMIRE, the second by a consulting company as a kind of experiment in a business scenario setting that will seamlessly lead to an exploitation of AMIRE.
