This talk presents interactive multimedia and multimodal systems used in diverse environments. The technologies, including new sensors, interaction surfaces and semantic information processing techniques will be described in the context where they were used. The systems result from collaborative projects in several fields, ranging from cultural heritage to contemporary art and dance. The talk will describe the collaborative processes and the results that were achieved with proposals for further development in the area. The academic environment and programs in which this work is done will also be described.
