in which human attention is at the very center.
Research Studio PCA is pushing the development of future ICT systems that focus on human attention.
Aware Systems & Cognitive ICT
The Research Studio Pervasive Computing Applications in Vienna and Linz is headed scientifically by Prof. Dr. Alois Ferscha and operationally by DI Benedikt Gollan. It is one of six Research Studios of the RSA FG.
Pervasive Computing Applications – PCA pushes the development of future ICT systems in which human attention is the main focus. Instead of general-purpose computers and individual devices, there will be a multitude of tiny, embedded, spontaneously networked and wirelessly communicating systems that interact in a targeted manner to support people unobtrusively in various activities. Computers thus merge with the physical world and disappear from the user’s perspective as individual, identifiable objects.

In this process, information technology should take a back seat or not require any special attention, so that people can concentrate fully on the accomplishment of their tasks and their lives. Technology that wants to appear “intelligent” must therefore be embedded in hardware and software systems.
One of the major challenges in research and development is the machine recognition of situations, activities, attention and emotional states. For this purpose, the Research Studio PCA uses sensor-based recognition and prediction methods based on mathematical methods of pattern recognition and proprietary developments of special hardware.

APPLICATION AREAS AND BENEFITS
CHAPTCHA
The tech2people and PCA project CHAPTCHA aims to provide individualised, data-driven therapy of the future and to implement clinically relevant assessments in both therapy and home care.
CHAnGE
Mixed reality technologies offer far-reaching opportunities for innovative and immersive services for end users in various areas such as healthcare, training and education as well as entertainment. However, these services rely on large amounts of sensitive, personal data. Currently, there are no mechanisms and general principles available that allow users to effectively take control of their sensitive data without having to opt out of the associated services.
EDIT
EDIT (Evolving Data-Improved Therapy) aims to develop individualised therapies and data analyses by using a wide range of sensor and device data to create holistic models.
LATEST FROM THE STUDIO
One year ago: Spot on MozART at the Ars Electronica Festival
The Ars Electronica Festival for ‘Art, Technology and Society’ is starting again in Linz these days. Exactly one year ago, the ‘Spot on MozART’ project by Studio PCA and the Mozarteum University was represented there.
Mixed reality for improved pilot training in the “EmPACT” project
Together with Lufthansa Aviation Training and RotorSky, RSA FG is continuing its work to further improve training for pilots. The use of mixed reality and eye tracking does not only record the behavior of trainees, but also provide them with direct feedback during training.
Digitalization in Therapy and Care
RSA FG supports tech2people in the development of digital, robotics-assisted therapy methods and actively researches new technologies in the field of AAL. The aging of [...]
