Media: "CoSy" first-year review meeting

The first-year review meeting of the "CoSy" project took place at DFKI (Saarbrücken, Germany) on Monday November 14, 2005. To present various aspects of the integrated architectures we developed during the first period, we created several movies to illustrate human-augmented mapping (the Explorer scenario - interactive spatial exploration) and interaction about a local visual scene (the PlayMate scenario - object manipulation). All the movies are provided in Apple Quicktime format.
