Sensing Project

The sensing project profile is developing a new greenhouse for gardeners who are concerned about overheating plants in the current greenhouse. The new greenhouse is built with windows, but sometimes windows in the greenhouse are completely open so that you can quickly escape all the heat trapped in the greenhouse. For serious gardeners, this is a big problem. Testing is to develop a sensing circuit that detects whether the window is completely open. By so doing, the gardener can receive warnings about the problem.

The impressive project leads Capacitive Sensing to a whole new level, Disney's Touche Sensing Project. The Touche project (Touché: real world touch and gesture sensing) is a sensing technology that proposes a new frequency swept frequency capacity sensing technology that detects touch events as well as touch interaction processes. It also recognizes the complex composition of human hands and bodies. Researchers can identify fairly complex gestures and interactions. Imagine not only functioning as a traditional mouse pad, but also the part of the fabric that also detects knobs, grips and other gestures related to the operation of the fabric. According to the inventors, this technique can lead to the idea of ​​zero UI (zero user interface) which converts the main body into an interface for digital input information. There is no more screen.

Project Soli is one of the projects developed by Google's Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) team. The goal of the Soli project is to develop a new sensing technology that uses radar to detect touchless gesture interactions. This technology is designed to capture accurate tremors of human hands. It has the potential to make human hands a universal input device that interacts with technology without having to touch something directly.

Through the three project areas, the Citizen Sense project examines environmentally-friendly practices and tests the ability to create new citizen participation. The first project area, "contamination sensing", focuses specifically on air pollution and focuses on civic perception practices using sensors to detect environmental hazards. In the second project area, "Urban Sensing", the urban sustainability, in general, using sensor technology to implement citizen's recognition practices and realizing a more efficient or environmentally friendly urban process Smart City "project. In the third project area we are investigating "wild sensing" and focusing on citizen's recognition practices, flora and fauna activity and habitat mapping and tracking, and biological involvement as an organic sensor.
