My part of the solution contains the following:
Different RFID tags on every corner and stairs and an RFID reader on the trouser’s belt to guide the individual inside the building through a wifi communication with Software agent and using tangible object(Lorn/Steve) to output the information. Information like number of footsteps to arrive to a checkpoint and the number of a fleet of steps is provided.
RFID tag is embeded in the walking stick, shoes and glasses which are used with another RFID reader under a floor mat to open the front door(from inside and the outside and a sensor (Mark) to close the door if it remains untouched, in case RFID reader detects the rfid tag when door is not needed open.
RFID reader on trouser belt is also used to detect the tangible device(with an RFID tag embedded) in the house if passed near it. Trouser’s Belt sends a signal through wifi to the Software agent for it to send an alert to the emergency service, if after a specified time, the RFID reader does not detect the tangible device's RFID tag
A Software Agent, which takes care to generate automatic alerts to emergency staff based on emotion sensing through affective computing, and body position(Mark), as well as decide what information is sent to the tangible object on the position of the individual inside the house.
Please comment on what you can add and whether my part of the solution makes sens for you guys

Karl,
ReplyDeleteThe solution is very good.
This is the Augmented Software part I'm thinking of adding:
Assist – See Augmented Reality for the visually impaired.
Slide 1.
Introduction:
This solution is a new form of interaction between humans and technology.
Use of FPGA Field-Programmable Gate Array Smartphone. FPGA have reached such a performance and flexibility level that are becoming a competitive alternative to ASICs and general purpose processors, traditional solutions on AR applications. (Toledo et al., 2005)
Smart phone will also have GPS technology for outdoors and software compatibility for use with RFID and sensor devices.
Slide 2-4.
Research Motivation:
Ability to navigate effectively and safely both indoors and in unfamiliar environments by means of building a cognitive map of the surrounding environment through the use of GPS (for location) Wireless Internet for augmentation of surroundings and sensory and RFID equipment.
The application will be in constant monitoring of data readings from all the light weight (also pervasive – due to the fact that sensors and RFIDs are placed inside clothing) equipment being carried around by the person and provide a constant audible voice-over describing the surrounding environment. At the same time the software is capable of registering the user’s voice and replying to his/her requests. The objective is to listen to the user’s direction needs and generating the correct path towards that particular request. Example – Finding the fridge in a kitchen without the use of remaining senses normally used by visually impaired people, such as touch.
Slide 5-8.
Solution:
AR Software over Smartphone will:
Provide voice recognition interaction with user that will also be used as an authentication means for access to device.
Have the ability to constantly read coordinates through the use of sensory and positioning devices (placed inside cloth fabric or material).
Overlay that information to a 3D object model of the surrounding environment which is downloaded from an internet source, also generating large scale modeling for public spaces.
Ability to store user’s audible queries (requests) and react promptly by presenting an accurate path and object description.
Ability to solve generated queries by analyzing the 3D model currently being augmented over the smart phone. Also being able to provide accurate details of the objects in the surrounding environment.
Ability to be in constant communication with security personnel.
Ability to interact with motion sensing equipment and to interact with other similar applications over different smart phones.
Ability to perform automatic activities depending on the readings deriving from the different equipment. This means that the application has the ability to read and query the different sensor being carried around to develop an understanding of the user’s current situation. The application will also respond to that situation by automatically communicating messages to authorities.
-----------------------
Then we insert a few images of the whole scenario,a collective SWOT analysis as the self assesment including future enhancements.
Finaly we all place our individual rationales and conclude with all the references (Maybe also split into the various sections)
I'm expecting the Thursday we conclude the slides with SWOT etc and not still have to build the various sectors ta' (meaning that we all have to be ready from the individual sections). Otherwise there is no chance we are going to make it in time.
Regards
Lorn.
