Abstract: | In this paper we survey our research on smart meeting rooms and its relevance for augmented reality meeting support and virtual
reality generation of meetings in real time or off-line. The research reported here forms part of the European 5th and 6th
framework programme projects multi-modal meeting manager (M4) and augmented multi-party interaction (AMI). Both projects aim
at building a smart meeting environment that is able to collect multimodal captures of the activities and discussions in a
meeting room, with the aim to use this information as input to tools that allow real-time support, browsing, retrieval and
summarization of meetings. Our aim is to research (semantic) representations of what takes place during meetings in order
to allow generation, e.g. in virtual reality, of meeting activities (discussions, presentations, voting, etc.). Being able
to do so also allows us to look at tools that provide support during a meeting and at tools that allow those not able to be
physically present during a meeting to take part in a virtual way. This may lead to situations where the differences between
real meeting participants, human-controlled virtual participants and (semi-) autonomous virtual participants disappear.
