What is Blue Eyes Technology
Blue
eyes is the technology to make computers sense and understand human behavior
and feelings and react in the proper ways. Blue Eyes technology
conducted by the research team of IBM at its Almaden Research Center (ARC) in
San Jose, California since 1997.
In blue
eyes technology blue stands for Bluetooth and eyes stand for eye movements
which enable to get the information. The idea behind blue eye technology is to
give the computer the human power.
The Blue Eyes technology system is a
combination of a set of hardware and software systems.The
hardware consists of a DAU
(Data Acquisition Unit), CSU (Central System Unit). These two devices are
interconnected by Bluetooth. The function of DAU is to collect information from
the sensor and send it to Bluetooth and it also delivers the message which is
sent from CSU to the operator. On the other hand, CSU provides visualization
interface by buffering incoming sensor data.
What is the Need for
Blue Eyes Technology
- To build a machine which can
interact with human, which can understand emotions and feel our presence.
- The user may not notice
important changes of indications causing financial or ecological
consequences, which is a threat to human life. Thus, it is crucial that
operators brain is involved in an active system supervising over the whole
work time period.
- The control instruments within
the machine have automated it to large extent, thus Human operator becomes
a passive observer of the supervised system, resulting in weariness and
vigilance drop, but the user needs to be active.
Benefits of
Blue Eyes Technology are -
- It is used in video games, to make them more
interactive and exciting.
- Physiological condition monitoring (blood
oxygenation,pulse rate), operator’s position detection.
- It helps in eye monitoring by recording and
interpreting customer’s movement.
- It is helpful in captain bridges,flight control center
, power plant control room .
Some Technologies used
in Blue Eyes Technology :
- Artificial intelligent speech recognition: In this technology input words
are scanned and matched against those words which are internally
stored and then for identification users speak to the computer via
microphone. Those words are filtered and fed to ADC and then store in the
RAM.
- Simple user interest tracker: Simple user interest tracker or SUITOR helps in
tracking the user’s behavior through multiple channels – web
browsing,gaze, application focus. By observing the user’s behavior SUITOR finds
and display relevant information.
- The eye movement sensor: It is a device used to measure eye movement and eye
position. A personal area network for linking all the operators and
supervising center with the help of DAU and CSU.
- Emotional mouse: An emotional mouse is used to evaluate user’s emotion
like happiness ,anger, fear,etc. It also helps to get behavior information
(mouse movement, finger pressure) and physiological information (skin temperature,heart
rate ECG/EKG).
