eGlasses – smart glasses

The eGlasses project is focused on the development of an open platform in the form of multisensory electronic glasses and on the integration and designing of new intelligent interaction methods using the eGlasses platform.

This is an initial development focused on long-term research and technological innovation in perceptual and super-perceptual (e.g. heart rate, temperature) computing. It is an emerging technology that is also focused on the creation of mobile, perceptual media.
Perceptual media refers to multimedia devices with added perceptual user interface capabilities. These devices integrate human-like perceptual awareness of the environment, with the ability to respond appropriately. This can be achieved by using automatic perception of an object’s properties and delivering information about the object’s status as a result of reasoning operations.
For example, using the eGlasses, it will be possible to control a device, which is recognized within the field of view using the interactive menu, associated with the identified device.
Other examples include presentation of a recognized person name, recognition of people with abnormal physiological parameters, protection against possible head injuries, etc.

Smart bathtub

System supporting safe bathing in a bathtub. It uses maesurements of bioimpedance, ECG, water level, water temperature and others.

What is it for?

to monitor the activity of a bathing person (e.g. sleeping).
to monitor the risks during bath (e.g. drowning).
to monitor the water level and temperature.
for automatic water cut off and water dump if dangerous conditions are detected (e.g. high water level).
for automatic triggering and distribution of alerts (e.g. assistance required, heart attack, etc.).

Who would use it?

Elderly people who like bathing in a tub.
People at risk of heart disease.
People who want to feel safe in the bath while maintaining privacy (no cameras, microphones, etc.).
