D1.1 – Data Management Plan
EMIL has prepared a Data Management Plan (DMP), which describes the data management life cycle for the data to be collected, processed and/or generated by the EMIL project. The DMP will be updated regularly throughout the project (D1.1). Updates of the DMP will be included in the Periodic Reporting Part B.

D2.2– FSTP call website
This document describes the FSTP call setup and call website. It will clarify the preparation of the FSTP call website, its thematic areas, general requirements for FSTP projects and instructions of how to write an application. The privacy of the applicants is a sensitive issue and is discussed briefly as well. Our conclusions highlight the massive workload required when starting a project that has new tools such as FSTPs to deliver.

D3.1 – Hardware specifications and APIs of smart garments
This document, “Hardware specifications and APIs of smart garments” (D3.1) describes the hardware design of smart garments that provide tactile and thermal feedback, including the spatial layout and default configurations of motors, heating and cooling elements and sensors, as well as techniques for integrating the hardware components into the textiles. The report also describes open APIs for (re)configuring and (de)activating components, and for obtaining sensor data.

D3.3 – Hardware integration and Adaptation of foundation libraries of AR Magic Lanterns
This deliverable describes the advances in hardware and system integration of the devices known as Augmented Reality Magic Lanterns, designed and developed by the UPF partner. The document describes the progress in moving from the initial TRL4 demonstrator that had been tested under controlled conditions at the historical site of Barcino (the ancient Roman Barcelona), up to the desired TRL8 device that will be achieved by the end of EMIL. In this process we describe the reasons for leaving behind the off-the-shelf-hardware version of the TRL4 demonstrator prototype and justify the need for a different HW integration. Hence, this document provides an account of all the investigations, hardware analysis, computer vision utilities, platform compatibilities, etc., that are needed for reaching a final integration and how the UPF team has undertaken these tasks.

D3.6 – SDK for integration of physical activities into VR experiences
This document, “SDK for integration of physical activities into VR experiences” (D3.6) provides an overview of a Software Development Kit (SDK) that can be used to create VR experiences that integrate physical activities such as walking-in-place, cycling and walking on a crosstrainer. The SDK is able to detect physical activities purely based on headset movements. This document describes the software components of the SDK that support different forms of physical activity, and also gives brief examples of how they can be applied in a VR project.

D3.7 – SDK for integration of affect recognition into VR experiences
This document, “EmoSense SDK for integration of affect recognition into VR experiences” (D3.7) provides an overview of a Software Development Kit (SDK) that can be used to collect physiological measures in real-time and produce a confidence value of predicted core affect for categorical and dimensional emotion models. The supported physiological measures include: pupillometry, gaze and head movement, heart rate and heart rate variability, galvanic skin response, and facial/lip gestures. The SDK includes software to take baseline and calibration measures for all physiological signals for the purpose of data cleaning and normalisation between users. This document will describe the software components of the SDK that support affect recognition in VR and give brief examples of integrating affect recognition into VR experiences.

D3.10 – Report on HMDs and content creation engines for LBE
This document, “Report on HMDs and content creation engines for LBE” (D3.10) provides an overview of available HMDs, content creation engines and tracking solutions and their potential in use for LBEs. It will also highlight special characteristics of the respective systems and give advice which technologies have the greatest potential for the implementation in the context of the project.

D4.1 EMIL’s Services Guidelines for FSTP Projects
This document, “EMIL’s Services Guidelines for FSTP Projects” (D4.1), provides detailed information for FSTP participants to understand the availability of the resources at each node and ensure their engagement in the EMIL network. The budget assigned to each FSTP will be sufficiently high to undertake the main load of work. EMIL is a centre for promoting and supporting innovative XR projects. Applicants should define their projects as self-contained and EMIL will provide the expertise and access to resources (such as personnel, spaces, and technologies) in a reasonable but limited fashion to not become overloaded. This Guidelines document provides list of resources and use limits
that can be expected by an FSTP project for access to facilities, equipment, software and services.
