Concept of AMI Consortium
AMI stands for “Augmented Multiparty Interaction.” It is a concept which began about 8 years ago when experts in speech and vision collaborated with psychologists and workplace sociologists on the design of a special environment that captures everything that people communicate to one another—verbally and with gestures and body language—in a face-to-face business meeting.
A consortium of research institutes and universities formed and submitted a proposal to the European Commission. In 2004 a large European Union project, the AMI Project, began to study how software algorithms and other supporting systems could be developed to enhance and measure the human-to-human interaction during meetings.
Today the AMI Consortium is in its second round of funding from the European Commission and we have expanded our scope to include meetings in which people do not share the same room. We call this AMI with Distance Access or “AMIDA.”
What we do
PEREY Research & Consulting helps the AMI Consortium with all aspects of technology transfer. This involves bringing the commercial world into clearer view for those who are immersed in the scientific research as well as introducing the ongoing research to new companies.
