CoMET System
In addition to the Collaborative Media Exchange Terminal we developed the concept of Spotlets. Spotlets are intelligent agents placed on the terminal. Every Spotlet has an independent internal logic.
The first picture shows the Spotlet-Dashboard. Here you can select the usable Spotlets and add them to the terminal. It is possible to interact with a selected Spotlet by drag-and-drop gestures or speech commands.
These Spotlets work in a variety of areas which will be shown and described in the following listing.
The YouTube-Spotlet-Prototype offers the first five live crawled results of YouTube. Via drag-and-drop the video is played.
The MP3-Spotlet offers all using samples of a common MP3-player.
The Push-to-Talk-Spotlets opends the microphone for speech interaction with the CoMET-System. The speech input is interpreted and converted into actions by the connected middleware – the Ontology-based Dialogue Platform (ODP), also developed at DFKI.
The iPhone/iPod Touch app enables to easily share your MP3 with the terminal. Directly after the synchronisation, MP3 files can be manipulated on the terminal’s display.
