sixth sense technology

Sixth Sense

  • Sixth Sense technology (camera combined with light source) was developed in 1997 (head worn) and 1998 (neck worn), but the Sixth Sense name for this work was first coined and published in 2001.

  • The Sixth Sense technology contains a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera contained in a head-mounted, handheld or pendant-like, wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to a mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks users' hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tips of the user’s fingers. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. Sixth Sense supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction.

  • Sixth Sense prototypes cost approximately $350 to build (not including the computer), the main cost being the micro-projector. Mistry had announced in Nov 2009 that the source code will be released with an open source licence. The code for the project was released as open source, and progress has been made porting the source code into Java from C# to allow the developers to make mobile ports.

Dynamic Routing Demonstration Using CISCO PACKET TRACER and RIP

Image
Dynamic routing is all about configuring a network using dynamic routing protocols. Dynamic Routing Protocol is divided in to two main parts. 1.Interior Gateway Protocol 2.Exterior Gateway Protocol In this section will look at Interior Gateway Protocols. -this is an autonomous system and handled by only one admin. -this protocol is also divide into two parts, 1. Distant Vector Protocols(Bellman-Ford Algorithm) - distance is measured by `hop count` and use for simple networks 2. Link State Protocol(Dijkstra Algorithm) - this uses some other information like neighbour router info and this is best for complex network designs In this Scenario we are using Routing Information Protocol(RIP) as the dynamic routing protocol. So below mentioned diagram is the network plan for a small network. In this Network diagram,            192.168.10.0 , 192.168.30.0 , 192.168.20.0 , 10.0.0.0 , 11.0.0.0 are 5 different networks...

Containerize Java Application & Deploying on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Image
What is Containerizing(Dockerizing)? Containerizing/Dockerizing is the process of deploying  applications in a docker container. Docker containers are lightweight, less memory consuming containers. It has access to the hosting kernel without carrying a operating system in it. Some of the advantages are, Gives portability. (mirroring the application) Application can be tested in a pre-production state.(Before deploying it on the actual production server we can run it through every situation which is going to be there in the actual environment) This post will give the basic idea of dockerizing and deployment using AWS elastic beanstalk. Prerequisites Sample Java Play Application Install Docker locally on workstation AWS account and Elastic Beanstalk service Sample Java Play Application Download a sample Java Play Application from this link Run the project and check for any configuration errors, etc and resolve them if there is anything. Basically the app...
