I’ve read with interest in this new technology several years ago and now it has become a reality. That technology is called “Gesture Technology”. Let me refer you to this article… http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/te...12gesture.html
Hope you have an idea now. Interested? Read on…
For the past 3 months I’ve been collaborating with a group of scientist on a cutting-edge state-of-the-art watch winder that recognizes hand motion. There are completely no switches but just a digital camera. Only hand-motion is used to switch-on a particular function. We call her SORPHIIE. It stands for Sophisticated Original Rotating Programmable Hand-motion Intelligent Interface Experiment.
Our preliminary proto-type circuit-board employs 182 microprocessors and has an array of features including but not limited to
a) Motor Drivers for 182 motors, 13 x 14 Grid, 364 shared motors
b) Direction Selection for 182 motors, 13 x 14 Grid, 364 shared motors
c) TPD Selection for 182 motors, 13 x 14 Grid, 364 shared motors
d) Infrared Motion Sensor, 24 inputs
e) Heat Sensor, 12 inputs
f) Solar Energy Converter and Booster - disabled
g) Infrasonic Emitter 150dB – in-progress
h) Long Range Acoustic Device (45 degree) - disabled
i) GPS Tracking – operator dependant
j) Communication Interface (HSDPA 900/1700/2100) – operator dependant
k) Network Interface Controller (GPRS) – operator dependant
l) Thermal cooker with temperature controller – only allowed for home-makers
m) Timer/World-time (Atomic) – awaiting news from a certain Mr. Kim
n) Too many others to list here
This is how the set-up looks like
This is our circuit board which is about L600 x W450mm and weighs approx 2.8kg
In the following weeks, we will try to program the winder to recognize basic hand gestures and for a start it will correspond to Start/Stop, Direction and TPD Selections. This will just be the beginning of a new era!
Stay Tuned for more!
