AMIDA – Augmented Multi-party Interaction with Distance Access
Showcase of new technologies which some believe will change how people interact during meetings and how they work with knowledge archives between meetings.
The institutions hosting this event are internationally acclaimed experts in machine learning, signal processing and the study of human interaction and human computer interfaces:
IDIAP Research Institute, Switzerland
DFKI, Germany
TNO, The Netherlands
ICSI, USA
University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
University of Sheffield, United Kingdom
Technology University of Munich, Germany

Business meetings need to be improved as a way of sharing information or collaborating. There are hundreds of published scientific and popular works on the subject of improving teams and meetings. But, technology is changing; It will soon be time for people to change, too.
The Future
- People reduce time spent preparing for/in unproductive meetings. This is measured by general satisfaction of participants.
- Meetings only involve people at the time and in the manner they are needed.
- Technology permits people in meetings – and those absent from meetings – to understand the context of participants and background for decisions.
- Technology assists people to focus on agenda items known to be relevant to the business or project.
The demonstrations illustrate how technologies can:
- Automatically generate summaries of your meetings
- Automatically detect changes in topics during meetings
- Browsing and searching of past meeting archives
- Automatic recognition of faces, gestures, actions and emotions during meetings
- Automatic spotting of keywords during a meeting
These technologies will permit changes at two levels:
Directly, we are working on the level of information content in and surrounding meetings. Our advanced video and voice signal processing technologies automatically enrich meetings and bring about changes in how the information content of meetings is made available and used.
As a result of the changes in the information content of meetings, changes are possible at the business process level. With richer, more intelligent meeting technologies, business leaders can and should drive changes in human-human interactions during meetings and structure work differently between meetings.
