Digital Engagement

The Digital Engagement research theme focuses on the impact of today’s digital technologies on the way we communicate, and researches innovation to enhance how we interact with information in a way that can empower us.

Embedding intelligence into content and communications means enabling that content and communications to be more easily discovered, analysed and understood. Content can be transformed between different languages, easily delivered through different modalities and adapted to address the needs, situation and preferences of the communicating parties. This puts the user back in control, where the content delivered to the user is based on their profile, their interaction with their peers, and their preferences.

This research encompasses all facets of next generation digital content and human interaction including content creation, curation, analysis, discovery, transformation, personalization as well as interaction and delivery.

Trinity has a strong track record in human computer interaction, dynamic analysis and personalisation of media and content, speech based interaction with applications and devices, novel collaboration technologies, new social media services, as well as developing new models for informal learning and knowledge sharing.
