COMPLETED RESEARCH SUPPORT

MUSE: Machine Understanding for interactive StorytElling (01/09/2012 – 30/11/2015)
Funding: 7th FWP (Seventh Framework Programme). Area: Challenging current Thinking (ICT-2011.9.1).

The MUSE project will introduce a new way of exploring and understanding information by « bringing text to life » through 3D interactive storytelling. Taking as input natural language text like children’s stories or medical patient education materials, MUSE will process the natural language, translate it into formal knowledge that represents the actions, actors, plots and surrounding world, and then render these as virtual 3D worlds in which the user can explore the text through interaction, re-enactment and guided game play.
