What is the AI for Health Call for Technologies about?

AI for Health (MPAI-AIH) is a project addressing interfaces and data types involved in an AIH Platform where End Users acquire and process health data on their handsets equipped with an AI Framework executing AI Workflows enabled by models distributed by the AIH Back end and installed in their handsets (AIH Front ends). Figure 1 depicts the AIH Front end. Figure 1 – The AIH Front-End End Users upload their processed health data with associated Smart Contracts granting the AIH…

An overview of Avatar Representation and Animation (MPAI-ARA)

  • Post author:
  • Post category:MPAI

“Digital humans” are computer-created digital objects that can be rendered with a human appearance and called Avatars. As Avatars have mostly been created, animated, and rendered in closed environments, there is no surprise that there has been very little need for standards. In a communication context, say, in an interoperable metaverse, digital humans may not be constrained to be in a closed environment. Therefore, if a sender requires that a remote receiving client reproduce a digital human as intended by…

An overview of Connected Autonomous Vehicle (MPAI-CAV) – Architecture

  • Post category:MPAI

Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) promise to replace human errors with a lower machine errors rate, give more time to human brains for rewarding activities, optimise use of vehicles, infrastructure, traffic management, reduce congestion and pollution, and help elderly and disabled people have a better life. MPAI thinks that standards can accelerate the coming of CAVs as an established reality. The first MPAI standard is “Connected Autonomous Vehicles – Architecture”. It specifies a CAV Reference Model broken down into Subsystems for…

What is the XR Venues – Live Theatrical Stage Performance Call for Technologies about?

  • Post author:
  • Post category:MPAI

XR Venues is an MPAI project addressing contexts enabled by Extended Reality (XR) – any combination of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies – and enhanced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The word “Venue” is used as a synonym for Real and Virtual Environments. MPAI thinks that the Live Theatrical Stage Performance use case fits well with the current trend that sees theatrical stage performances such as Broadway theatre, musicals, dramas, operas, and other performing…

An overview of MPAI Metaverse Model (MPAI-MMM) – Architecture

  • Post author:
  • Post category:MPAI

There is no common definition of the word metaverse. MPAI characterises the word Metaverse Instance (M-Instance) as a system that captures data from the real world (in the following, called Universe), processes it, and combines it with internally generated data to create virtual environments that users can interact with. Examples of M-Instances are plentiful. So far, their developers have made technology decisions that best responded to their needs, often without considering the choices that other developers might have made for…

An overview of Multimodal Conversation V2

The goal of the Multimodal Conversation (MPAI-MMC) standard is to provide technologies that enable a human-machine conversation that is more human-like, richer in content, and able to emulate human-human conversation in completeness and intensity. By learning from human interaction, machines can improve their “conversational” capabilities in the two main phases of conversation: understanding of the meaning of an element and the generation of a pertinent response. Multimodal Conversation Version 2 achieves this goal by providing, among other technologies, a new…
