Our Work

CYENS Centre of Excellence is a leading Research and Innovation hub specializing in Interactive Media, Smart Systems, and Emerging Technologies. As the only organization in Cyprus dedicated to immersive technologies, it plays a vital role in advancing knowledge and facilitating technology transfer across the region. This Centre is the result of a unique collaboration between three public universities—the University of Cyprus, the Cyprus University of Technology.

3DMotaaS

3D Motion-as-a-Service

Starting Date

1st December 2023

End Date

30th November 2025

3DMotaaS aims to advance proof of concept technology for 3D motion search and retrieval through a strategic collaboration between Algolysis Ltd (SME/Host) and the CYENS – Centre of Excellence (RO/Partner). By leveraging the two Partners’ complementary expertise, know-how and Intellectual Property, the consortium aims to develop a 3D motion data search engine, which will in turn power a novel state-of-the-art Motion-as-a-Service prototype that will be validated in a relevant environment (TRL5). Algolysis Ltd brings into the project its proof-of-concept motion search and retrieval technology (TRL3) and know-how, while CYENS invests in applying its expertise in Machine Learning and makes available its significant Motion Capture infrastructure that is necessary for the success of this endeavour. One of the key features of this novel search engine is the ability to query-by-example, i.e. to search within a corpus of motion data using a motion sample, instead of keywords. To unlock the potential of this technology and benefit a multitude of sectors the motion similarity engine can be used programmatically by third party developers/applications, making it possible to embed motion search and retrieval in software targeted for entertainment (game development, film production), sports, health, robotics, biomechanics, etc.
