CeBIT Innovation Award 2013 “Young Innovator” for Swoozy (Semantic TV System)
Mar 6th 2013
Dear readers, I’m very proud and happy to announce that I won a CeBit Innovation Award (www.cebitaward.de) in the category Young innovator with the new semantic TV system named Swoozy (www.swoozy.net). Swoozy enables users to interact with their television over a gesture based interface and to get easily get information over the Semantic Web. If you are I interested don’t miss my talk tomorrow at the CeBit Lab Talk in Hall 9. I will explain how Swoozy works and why semantic television is going to revolutionize the manner viewers are More >
Calisto – a new terminal for Web 3.0 and the Internet of Services – Frisbee gesture with an Android phone to surf in the semantic web
Jun 2nd 2011
Simon Bergweiler and I decided to continue our research in the field of interaction with the Internet of Services. The result is Calisto, a 40’’ multitouch terminal that can be used either over touch interactions or by speech. What’s pretty cool is that users can send (or let me say throw) picture they shot with their Android phone with a Frisbee gesture directly to the terminal. Once synchronized, the picture is analyzed and corresponding semantic annotations are attached to the media. At this point users can use Spotlet to access the semantic web – like in our other system CoMET (http://www.mat-d.com/site/web-3-0-innovative-semantic-interactions-with-spotlets/ ) – and retrieve interesting linked information over drag’n’drop or via speech input through their own Android mobile phone.

Web 3.0 Innovative Semantic Interactions with Spotlets
Dec 21st 2008

That was indeed very interesting but a major problem was the correct information retrieval. That’s the point were semantic will play a major role in the future. Semantics try to find out from a combination of words, what the user wanted to say or to formulate.
