Prototype & other ideas

this is what i done last week in class, the prototype could be the LCD screen which would fit in the fridge, what u guys think?

groupi we have to start the prototype as soon as possible , next week is my project submission and i wont be able to do much work.

A Robot Controlled by Blinking for Ambient Assisted Living

system allows interaction between a physically disabled person and his environment. It contributes to achieve an Ambient Assisted Living (AAL).

1. This system is controlled by voluntary muscular movements,
These movements are translated into instructions which are sent by means of a wireless link to a mobile robot that executes them.
2. This robot includes a video camera in order to show the environment of the route that the robot follows on its way to the user.
3. It also includes a subsystem that contains light and sound signals.
4. This system help to extending the time that older people and disabled people can live in their home environment, increasing their independence and their confidence

tobi communication device

groupi please email me or blog if the research not enough so i can do more reseach on e home

research

groupi we can combine New technology that capture information from brain translated it to speech and tobi communication device and add more featuers as such:

security (alarms, intercom systems and door locks); communications (telephone operation, nurse/warden call systems, pagers; comfort (power sockets, lights, curtains/blinds, multifunction beds and chairs); entertainment (TV, satellite/digital TV, DVD, music systems, radio, page-turners); access control (door/window openers, lifts); and personal computers (business, email, Internet)

i knew guys but i published whatever i found.....and am still researching on E HOME ...... i did one which i published and still searching for more

Group Research

Just to confirm, Leyla you were supposed to research ehome and Braulio was to research different types of disability..

completed!!

thanks,ive finished my research il email it now to you all. Braulio

Existing types of assisted living

New technology that capture information from brain translated it to speech

The audio is being developed by Ambient as an innovative new way of silently communicating with the world around you. The audeo allows an individual to directly utilize the minute neurological signals from the brain which control the vocal cords to communicate silently

Hi group

This some research that I found for assisted living.

What assisted living is?

Assisted living facilities are for people needing assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) but wishing to live as independently as possible for as long as possible.


Different types of disability

Eyesight disability

Eyesight disability if you don’t have normal vision even if you wear eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Hearing Disability

people who are completely deaf. Or, have partial hearing in one or both ears. However, to correct this problem, you are required the use of a hearing aid

Mobility Disability

Mobility refers to different people with varying types of physical disabilities. It is often related to individual with upper limb mobility, manual dexterity, and co-ordination problem. Mobility impairment is one of the disability types that affect movement ranging from gross motor skills like walking, to fine motor movement involving manipulation of objects by hand. Some use assistive equipment such as wheelchair or electronic strollers to be able to move around.

Cognitive Disability

Is thinking. It includes many different functions including our abilities to pay attention, learn and retain information, solve problems, and use language to express thoughts. Cognitive disability refers to people with dyslexia

Coursework 2

Hi group!
Just a recap on what we decided to research:

• What Assisted Living is
• What disability/impairment we can aid with assisted living
• Different types of disability, and how this affects every day living
• Existing types of assisted living

We will then in week 20 decide on what impairment we will assist.

At present we are looking at motor/restricted hand movement. Please post any findings on here before Wednesday so that we can start to put a literature review together.

Alex

Hello guys, this week we will present the evaluation and our presentation should be content goals, how we investigate the finding and if we change anything on our prototype (improvement ).also we have to choose one of the evaluation method cognitive walkthrough, think aloud or heuristic evaluation.

School Meeting

When are we going to the school to test our game with the kids???

Hello guys, we have to do our code because we won’t be able to test it with error. Next week is half term for schools, so I think we should work on it this week, we can ask bob for help......
WE HAVE TO MEET GUYS

HELP!!!

can someone please help with the coding

Progress

The set up

pictures of the set-up

hello guys, i went to toys r us today and i didnt found the shapes, so ithink we gone use playdoh to make the shape we need.

Happy new yr 2all - back to work

can everyone update the whole group on what they have found in terms of research and objects.
