Fourth User Group Event

Hotel Novotel Annecy Centre Atria
1 Place Marie Curie, 74000 Annecy, France



SALERO (presentation, pdf, 1.8 MB) is an IST project that aims at making cross media-production for games, movies and broadcast faster, better and cheaper by combining computer graphics, language technology, semantic web technologies as well as content based search and retrieval.

The purpose of the 4th User Group meeting was not only to show the latest results from the project in relation to intelligent media production but to gather detailed feedback and ideas based on hands-on sessions during the meeting. Based on a live demonstration of creating a production the participants had the possibility to try the tools on their own to be able to judge their applicability in their environments.
