Project Information

Project Title:

NIYANTRA 2013 - <how would a blind person use a computer> && NIYANTRA 2013 - <connecting physical world to digital world>

Hardware & Software Used:

Hardware :- Computer && Mouse && Camera

Software :- Labview

What challenge/problem are you trying to solve through your application:

Project 1 >  how would a blind person use a computer

project 2 > Aimed at making the life of the Eastern world better and better.

How does your application solves the above mentioned challenge/problem:

Project 1>

Solution :-

The existing Computer technology for blind person

> Cumbersome to use

   Blind person needs to remember the   spatial location of files.

Secondly user also needs to remember many short-cut keys to operate computer.

Example : ctrl +r for reading text file etc.

> Slow in operation

> Expensive

Solution :-

>Cost effective

  Not a single addition of hardware

> Blind person does not need  to remember location of any folder

Using the concept that all files are alphabetically arranged

> Time to access any file gets reduced by a great extent

Highly Efficient and Effective Algorithm Implemented Which reduces acess time to great extent

project 2>

Making the life of the Eastern world better and better. ( Connecting physical world to digital world)

Solution :-

Control The Whole Computer Using Pattern matching and Gesture recognition technique.

IF USER SELECT VIDEO FILE....

Upward movement of hand leads to increase in sound of video player

Downward movement of hand leads to decrease in sound of video player

Right movement of hand results into fast forward by 1min

Left movement of hand results into a backward jump of 1min

IF USER SELECT STUDY NOTES....

Upward movement of hand switches the user to previous pages

Downward movement of hand switches the user to next pages

Right movement of hand make's the user zoom in

Left movement of hand make's the user zoom out

Description of Project:

How our project works

Blind People Process Speech Far Faster Than Sighted Persons.

All folders inside computer are alphabetically arranged.

Control whole computer with a mouse

Mouse button performs different operation depending upon the type of file selected by blind people

Blind People Process Speech Far Faster Than Sighted Persons.

All folders inside computer are alphabetically arranged.select.jpg

If person is currently pointed to  file name curiosity and if want to open folder named

image by pressing right  click he can do the same without knowing the  spatial location of file.


If he want to open 1song then by clicking  left click several time he can open the desired file.

Control whole computer with a mouse

Mouse button performs different operation depending upon the type of file selected by blind people

right click- next file

Left click - previous file

scroll press - file open/close

POLYMORPHISM:-

Properties of mouse click changes according to the file selected by user

To site an example consider user opened a video file then properties of mouse clicks changed to 

          Left click – backward by 5 sec

          right click- fast forward by 5 sec

          scroll press – open/close

project 2>

The camera we used acts as a digital eye of the system. It basically captures the scene the user is looking at. The video stream captured by the camera is passed to mobile computing device which does the appropriate computer vision computation.

User need to tell two things to processor..

1=>Which file user want to access

. 2=>What operation user want to perform

We developed six algorithms that plots the information from physical world to  digital world.

1 Plotting physical coordinate (hand movements) to digital coordinate.

After processing the captured data system retrieve the  physical coordinate of the tracking object and plot accordingly to obtain digital world (computer) coordinates.

User got access to any file using transformed coordinate

2 Searching file

Assigning transformed coordinate to cursor so cursor moves in same fashion as Tracking object.

3 Selecting file

Keep track of coordinate’s received from digital  world.

If coordinate not vary for 5 second’s system assumes that user want access to that file.

System uses digital coordinate as a file handler.

Once processor got file handler with him system goes into operation mode

4 Operation (Swapping algorithm)

Operation mode decides which operation user want to perform.

System starts timer

Keep verifying that is the physical coordinates are as previous one.

If not (Abrupted by User) selects first mode

System reset the timer to Initialiaed value

System repeat the operation mode subroutine until timer runs out so user has choice to enters in different mode.

Each mode has predefined subroutine  after system decides the mode it executes the subroutine written in it.

5 Indication clock

change of quardrant in which circle move to indicate which mode get selected if timer runs out.

Cursor moves in circle to show time left with user before user can change operation mode

6 Ease of study notes and watching movies

IF USER SELECT VIDEO FILE....

Upward movement of hand leads to increase in sound of video player

Downward movement of hand leads to decrease in sound of video player

Right movement of hand results into fast forward by 1min

Left movement of hand results into a backward jump of 1min

IF USER SELECT STUDY NOTES....

Upward movement of hand switches the user to previous pages

Downward movement of hand switches the user to next pages

Right movement of hand make's the user zoom in

Left movement of hand make's the user zoom out

Other application's include....

Mobile calling using hand gesture

Playing virtual chess

Gesture lock (Ultimate security)

Writing over surface's
