Sensor Technology, Gamification, HapticInterfaces in an Assistive Wearable

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the solution proposed by the SUITCEYES project in the form of a haptic intelligent personalized interface (HIPI) that integrates elements from the areas of smart textiles, sensors, semantic technologies, image processing, face and object recognition, machine learning, affective computing, and gamification. We report on recent developments in the project, which include experiments with sensors for detection of obstacles, psychophysical experiments with temperatures and vibrations, development of a number of high performing algorithms for object recognition, and also the design, development, and experimentation with a smart-textile based garment that allows flexible positioning of sensors and actuators.SUITCEYE
