Making known (Faire connaitre) proposes, through the census, the digitization and the subsequent enhancement of the tangible and intangible cultural heritage, to create thematic itineraries, linked to various historical periods, to bring out the specificities and attractiveness of the territories of the ALCOTRA area.

The OSIRIS project aims to create a platform that allows the integration of information from both optical and SAR satellite images with AIS data provided directly by ships. Using the images we can identify the ships and calculate their position, the velocity in module and direction. On the basis of these extracted data, a route prediction is calculated, and associated with the AIS data in order to highlight anomalies.

TourPedia was born within the European OpenNER project (opener-project.eu) to collect information on attractions, restaurants, accommodation facilities, points of interest in various European locations, focusing on reviews written in multiple languages from which the general sentiment was analyzed. These informations has been extracted from Facebook, Foursquare, Booking and GooglePlaces, but for this very reason it cannot be shared. Currently the project has moved to open data provided by various government agencies, with the aim of creating a single dataset to be published as open data. In particular, through an always active procedure, the open data of the accommodation facilities provided by the various Italian regions are periodically downloaded. This data undergoes a sequence of data quality, data enrichment and data fusion actions.

The GeoMemories project was born from the collaboration between the IIT-CNR and the Aerofototeca Nazionale (AFN), a section of the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione (ICCD) based in Rome. AFN preserves millions of aerial images from numerous collections ranging from the early 1900s to today, a fundamental heritage of documentation of the Italian landscape of the last century. The background on which the IIT has operated consists mainly of aerial images taken by the Royal Air Force (RAF).
GeoMemories aims to make usable this extraordinary heritage, also soliciting active participation by users. Historical photos are superimposed on a layer that shows the current map of the territory in order to allow the evaluation of changes that have occurred over time with great ease and effectiveness.
The fields of application of the project are obviously manifold: they range from historical documentation to the search for archaeological evidence. It can also be used as an urban planning tool, as an aid to Civil Protection or to study the land consumption, with the possibility of welcoming and integrating results of urban, territorial, naturalistic researches, etc.

Design and development of a generic framework for the creation of responsive interactive indoor maps with SVG and reactive (Svelte) technologies, to be released as open source software. An interactive web map of the IIT institute of the CNR of Pisa was created on the basis of this application. This framework can be used for various indoor environments that involve interaction with visitor users, including hospitals, airports, large cemeteries, shopping centers etc.

Suoniamo
Suoniamo is a free web app that supports children with autism in learning the basics of music and playing simple pieces on the piano. By soliciting the achievement of autonomy in school life, Suoniamo strengthens the self-esteem of children with autism by facilitating school integration and socialization. Suoniamo provides targeted exercises and visual stimuli designed to meet the needs of children with autism. To generalize and facilitate the passage on the instrument, the Suoniamo app also allows you to perform the exercises by connecting a three-octave MIDI keyboard through the USB port. The Suoniamo app is being tested by 4 geographically distributed first grade secondary schools (Rome, Lucca, Mondovì – Cuneo, and Cellamare – Bari) and will be available free of charge starting from 2021.

My Dentist
MyDentist is a web app supporting a protocol for the management of dental care of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), in order to contain anxiety and the use of sedation. The app implements a personalized familiarization path, defined by the dentist on the basis of the visits and interventions to be done. MyDentist is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration which, under the guidance of the Department of Informatics, mainly involved psychologists from the IRCCS Stella Maris Foundation, researchers from the IIT-CNR, clinicians from the Children’s Dentistry Clinic of the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Pisana, the speech therapists of the ASL Nord Ovest area Pisana e Livornese and volunteers of the Autism Pisa APS Association active in the area of Pisa, in Valdera and Valdicecina.

Creation of a prototype of a “gym mat” that provides different sensory stimuli to users with intellectual disabilities, to be used for a joint activity of accessible psychic and psychomotor training. The CARPET DIEM platform consists of a DANCE PAD or a sensorized carpet and specific software that offers simple dance choreographies, guiding the user in their execution through instructions shown on the screen. The choreographies are proposed on musical pieces to engage the user attention and facilitate their execution based on the rhythm.

REM: Registrated EMail
Scientific and technical support for the creation of an email platform compliant with the EU EIDAS N. 910/2014, in collaboration with ISTI-CNR and AgID. Activities include the study of standards related to the platform’s interoperability aspects, scientific dissemination, testing of the platform’s interoperability, and verification of REM compliance by Italian providers.
