The Intelligent and Aware Environments (also known as Smart Spaces) project is aimed at developing intelligent and interactive, day-to-day enviornments that can percieve people and interact with them to support thier daily activities.

For this project we are developing methods for:

• video and audio-based tracking of people
• recognitizing human activity
• audio-based interactions
• etc.
