Abstract

MNEMOSYNE is a three year project whose primary goal is to deliver a personalized, interactive multimedia experience to museum visitors through the novel application of personalization driven by computer vision-based profiling. A combination of passive, wall-mounted cameras and sensors carried by guests acquiring active and passive imagery will be used to create a general profile of a museum visitor’s interests in order to customize the presentation at interactive tabletop surfaces placed in the museum environment. In this article we discuss the general context in which MNEMOSYNE is defined, as well as the main technical directions the project will follow over the next three years. Some very preliminary results are given for the vision-based techniques to be used for visual profiling of museum visitors.
