TRANSPER partners publish research in the Proceedings of MOCO'26

The TRANSPER consortium announces two new scientific publications authored by project partners and presented at the 10th International Conference on Movement and Computing (MOCO'26), held in Montpellier, France, from 23 to 25 April 2026.

The conference brought together researchers and practitioners working at the intersections of movement, technology, creativity, health, and education, reinforcing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in these fields.

Exploring interdisciplinary education through collaborative learning

Researchers from the Public University of Navarra (UPNA), Oscar Ardaiz and Alicia Maria Alonso-Martinez, presented the paper:

Ardaiz, O., & Alonso-Martinez, A. M. (2026). Teams of Sport Science and Computer Engineering Students Learning Together. In Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Movement and Computing (MOCO '26), Article 55, 1–4.
https://doi.org/10.1145/3802842.3802851

The publication examines how students from Sport Science and Computer Engineering can learn collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams, highlighting the educational benefits and challenges of bringing together different disciplinary perspectives. The study resonates strongly with the goals of TRANSPER, which seeks to bridge creative and technological disciplines through innovative educational practices and cross-sector collaboration.

Advancing open-source tools for multimodal movement analysis

Researchers from the University of Genoa (UNIGE) presented the paper:

Sabharwal, S. R., Corbellini, N., Ghisio, S., Coletta, P., Romano, G., Al Foysal, A., Volpe, G., & Camurri, A. (2026). PyEyesWeb: An Open Source Toolkit for Multimodal Movement Feature Extraction. In Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Movement and Computing (MOCO '26), Article 44, 1–8.
https://doi.org/10.1145/3802842.3802904

The publication introduces PyEyesWeb, an open-source toolkit designed to support the extraction and analysis of multimodal movement features. By facilitating the study of movement through accessible computational tools, the work contributes to ongoing discussions around embodied interaction, movement analysis, and the development of interdisciplinary research methodologies at the intersection of technology, arts, and human experience.

The participation of UPNA and UNIGE at MOCO'26 also provided an opportunity for researchers from both institutions to meet, exchange ideas, and strengthen the collaborative relationships fostered through TRANSPER. Their contributions exemplify the project's commitment to promoting dialogue between technological and creative disciplines and to generating research that supports innovative approaches to education, movement, and digital creativity.
