> SPAIN: Fagor Home Electrics Group and Telvent (technological offshoot of
Abengoa), working with the University of the Basque Country and the IKERLAN
technological centre, are involved in the Genio project, with the aim of
directing and designing the manufacture of devices capable of voice-based
dialogue, thus enabling such p roducts to join the new array within the
concept of Environmental Intelligence. The work being carried out aims to
fit products with the ability to orally communicate with people, to
recognise them and to respond to their requests with natural voice
technology. The main result of the project will be the design of two robust
functional prototypes, reduced in cost, and made using "embedded
hardware-software" architecture, with the following tasks allocated to each
company:

technology for advanced electrical and other household goods such as safety
and comfort systems, entertainment and leisure items (TV, Hi-Fi, video-game
console, etc.) and services associated with them. Each user will be able to
control the operation of each device, and the overall set of devices,
exclusively using their voice, by means of natural dialogue processes with
the Maior-Domo ("the butl er") domotic manager. Moreover, an additional
interface will be available based on visualisation screen and projectors
distributed around the home.

technology, for information and ticket purchase in train and underground
ticket machines. Users will be able to carry out basic operations to
purchase any tickets and to get information provided by the machine. It will
have a user-friendly visual interface and special attention will be paid to
accessibility for the blind. The Genio project is a part of the Basque
Government Intek programme and it is predicted that it will be ready for
2006.
