Haptics technology
Haptics technology

►Haptics (pronounced HAP-tiks) is the

science of applying touch (tactile) sensation
and control to interaction with computer
applications. The word derives from the
Greek haptein meaning "to fasten."
Haptics technology

►Is a feedback technology (using computer

applications) that takes advantage of the
user’s sense of touch by applying force,
vibrations and/or motions to the User.
►Simple haptics is used in game controllers,
joysticks and steering wheels and is
becoming more common in Smartphones.
Haptics technology

►Haptics is gaining widespread acceptance as

a key part of virtual reality systems (i.e.
computer simulated environments) - adding
the sense of touch to previously visual only
solutions.
►It is also used in virtual arts, such as sound
synthesis, graphic design and animation.
Haptics technology

►There are many possibilities for Haptics to

be applied to gaming, movies,
manufacturing, medical, and other
industries.
►Imagine your doctor operating on your local
hospital from his computer in Australia.
Contextual awareness

►By combining ‘hard sensor’ information such as

where you are and the conditions around you,
combined with ‘soft sensors’ such as your calendar,
your social network and past preferences - future
devices will constantly learn about who you are
and how you live, work and play.
Contextual awareness

►As your devices learn about your life, they can

begin to anticipate your needs. Imagine your PC
advising you to leave home 15 minutes early or
take a different route to avoid a traffic jam on
your way to work.
►Consider a “context aware” remote control that
instantly determines who is holding it and
automatically selects the Smart TV preferences for
that person
Voice and tone recognition
Voice and tone recognition

►Not only can voice and tone recognition be

used to confirm a person’s identity but tone
recognition can be used to detect a
person’s health or emotional state.
►This technology will open new
opportunities in security and healthcare –
with mobile applications.
Intelligent routing to devices
Intelligent routing to devices

►This future technology will be useful to, for

example, local councils.
►While on the move, staff will be able to
provide the precise description and location
of a street-based issue using Smartphones
and mobile devices that can take photos and
have GPS (global positioning system) support.
Intelligent routing will then alert the
responsible team to action.
Eye tracking technology
Eye tracking technology

►Eye tracking technology measures eye

positions and movements which are
analyzed through computer applications.
►Future laptops, smartphones and tablets
could contain thousands of tiny imaging
sensors built into the display screen.
►Eye tracking technology could have many
possible applications, including:
Eye tracking technology
►Eye tracking technology could have many possible applications,
including:
►Law enforcement – lie detection
►Airport security – identifying suspicious behavior, e.g. to
catch terrorists before they strike
►Retail – recording, monitoring and analyzing consumer
behavior to ‘tailor’ marketing to individuals
Eye tracking technology
►Eye tracking technology could have many possible applications,
including:
►Safety - alerting and awakening a drowsy or distracted driver
would save many lives
►Health care – assisting people with disabilities or paralysis to
communicate (laptop) and improve mobility (electric
wheelchair)
►Human-computer interaction – using screen icons and a blink
here or a gaze there. Say goodbye to the mouse and
keyboard.
Internet glasses
Internet glasses

►Technology that can display images directly

onto our retinas while not blocking our sight is
being developed.
►This technology can be used in eyeglasses and
have uses ranging from e-Gaming to military
defense.
►In the next 10-20 years experts predict that
Internet glasses will replace Smartphones.
Internet glasses
► Imagine these viewing experiences:
►Seeing building schematics and locations of others
(especially useful for security or fire fighters)
►Giving a speech while information is streamed to your
eyeglasses in real time.
►receiving turn by turn directions as you walk toward your
destination
►Viewing virtual recipes while cooking without losing your
rhythm
►Walking down the street, seeing one of your friends show
up "on screen" 2 blocks and 1 cafe away
