  7. Sky object recognition

  8. Sky object recognition

  9. Sky object recognition • Determining the object on the recognized position • Horizontal coordinate system • azimuth and altitude • time and position on the Earth • Equatorial coordinate system • ascension and declination • for non-Solar objects • Eclipticcoordinate system • ecliptic longitude and ecliptic latitude • for Solar objects icPoint – Interactive Night Sky Observation Alena Kovárová, Michal Dobiš, Vladimír Hlaváček, Linh Hoang Xuan, Michal Jajcaj, Dušan Lamoš

  10. Ease of control • Highlighting of selected objects • Actual part of sky • magnitude-filtered objects • corresponding distance and visibility of stars • real images and size of Moon icPoint – Interactive Night Sky Observation Alena Kovárová, Michal Dobiš, Vladimír Hlaváček, Linh Hoang Xuan, Michal Jajcaj, Dušan Lamoš

  11. Ease of control • Simplified settings • Information in form of: • text(also speech recognition) • images • audio • video icPoint – Interactive Night Sky Observation Alena Kovárová, Michal Dobiš, Vladimír Hlaváček, Linh Hoang Xuan, Michal Jajcaj, Dušan Lamoš

  12. Ease of control • Control • Mouse cursor movement using laser pointer • Speech recognition • Common devices like keyboard or mouse icPoint – Interactive Night Sky Observation Alena Kovárová, Michal Dobiš, Vladimír Hlaváček, Linh Hoang Xuan, Michal Jajcaj, Dušan Lamoš

  13. Learn and teach • Unlimited exploring possibilities • Basic scientific information directly in the system • icPointWiki – collaborative web encyclopedia • Learn from downloaded content • Teach others by creating localized content • Keep informed about new discoveries from the community icPoint – Interactive Night Sky Observation Alena Kovárová, Michal Dobiš, Vladimír Hlaváček, Linh Hoang Xuan, Michal Jajcaj, Dušan Lamoš
