THETERMBLUEEYE BLUE inthetermstandsfor bluetooth,whichenablesreliable wirelesscommunication. EYES,becausetheeye movementenablesustoobtaina lotofinterestingandimportant information.
WHATITIS? Blueeyesisthetechnologytomake computerssenseandunderstand humanbehaviorandfeelingsand reactintheproperways. Basicidea: give computerhumanpower. providetechnicalmeansfor monitoringandrecordingoperator physiologicalconditions.
WHYBLUEEYES? Operator’s brainneedstobe involvedintheentireworking period. Humanerrorcausescalamity andecologicaldisasters. Humancontributiontotheoverall performanceofthesystemisleft unsupervised.
BLUEEYESAIMSTO Design smarterdevices. Createdeviceswithemotional intelligence. Createcomputationaldevices withperceptualabilities.
INPUTSUSED pulserate expressions Heart Facial • Eye-browsandmouthlinesprimarily Eye movements • Asapointingdevice • Alsotodeterminetheemotion Voice
DESIGNING The Blue Eyes uses: • A personal area network forlinking all the operators and thesupervising system • Two major units - DAU (data acquisition unit ) - CSU (central system unit )
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Data Acquisition Unit Central System Unit Bluetooth Bluetooth Bluetooth technology provides means for creating a Network linking the operators and the central system. Connection Manager Visualization Module Atmel 89C52 microcontroller Bluetooth Bluetooth Data Analysis Data Logger Jazz Multisensor
DATA ACQUISITION UNIT: • Gets information from the sensor. • Sends information over the wireless connection. • Delivers the alarm messages sent from the Central System Unit (CSU) to the operator.
Data Acquisition Unit DAU - FEATURES • Lightweight • Runs on batteries - low power consumption • Easy to use • ID cards for operator authorization Bluetooth Atmel 89C52 microcontroller Jazz Multisensor
Jazz Multisensor: • It’s an eye movement sensor, to provide necessary physiological data in Data Acquisition Unit (DAU). • It supplies raw digital data regarding eye position, the level of blood oxygenation acceleration along horizontal and vertical axes and ambient light intensity. • Eye movement can be measured using direct infrared oculographic transducers.
CSU-COMPONENTS • CONNECTION MANAGER – main task to perform low-level blue tooth communication • DATA ANALYSIS MODULE – performs the analysis of the raw sensor data in order to obtain information about operator’s physiological condition • DATA LOGGER MODULE – provides support for storing the monitored data. • VISULAIZATION MODULE – provides user interface for the supervisors
Central System Unit Data Logger CSU - FEATURES • Maintains Bluetooth connections • Data processing • Records conclusion for further exploration • Provides visualization interface Connection Manager Visualization Module Bluetooth Data Analysis
AFFECTIVECOMPUTING Theprocessofmakingemotional computerswithsensingabilities isknownasaffectivecomputing. Stepsinclude:- Giving sensingabilities Detectinghumanemotions Respondproperly
METHODS AFFECTDETECTION 1. Detectionofemotionalstatesfrom facialexpressions. Mostoftheinformationisextracted fromthepositionoftheeye-brows andthecornersofthemouth. Thenprocessedtoarriveatthe operator’semotionalstate.
METHODS(conti...) MAGICPOINTING 2. MAGICstandsforManualAcquisition withGazeTrackingTechnology. Cursormovedinthedirectionofthe user'seyes. Enablethecomputerto automaticallytransmitinformation relatedtothescreenthattheuseris gazingat.
MAGIC pointing is the technique of tracking eye movement of the user and perform the desired operation.
METHODS(conti...) SUITOR 3. SUITORstandsfor“SimpleUser Interface Tracker”. Implementsthemethodforputting computationaldevicesintouchwith theiruser’schangingmoods. Mostlyusedinwebbased applications.
METHODS(conti...) EMOTIONMOUSE: 4. Mouseisembeddedwithsensors thatcansensethephysiological attributeslike Temperature Bodypressure Pulserate Touchingstyleetc. Thecomputerdeterminestheuser’s emotionalstatesfromtheseinputs.
How it works?????? Like humans have five sense organs, emotion mouse is designed with five sensors to sense the different moods of user.
BLUEEYESENABLED DEVICES POD Technologyusedincars. PONG ARobot. SECURE PAD AnElectronicBadge.
FUTURE APPLICATIONS BLUE EYES technology can be used : • In automobile industry • In video games • TocreateFace Responsive Display”.
CONCLUSION TheBlueeyestechnologyensures Aconvenientwayofsimplifyingthe lifebyprovidingmoredelicateand userfriendlyfacilitiesincomputing devices. Thegapbetweentheelectronicand physicalworldisreduced. Thecomputerscanberunusing implicitcommandsinsteadofthe explicitcommands.
