Description:
Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing has become the next major wave of technology and market trend after Mobile Internet Computing, since the Post-PC Era. Most of the industry players are focusing on the hardware sensing technologies. The overall system and operation software aspects are still in the early stage. This project aims to develop a Linux/Android OS and middleware to distribute tasks among wearable devices and smart phone/tablet for sensing data collection, intuitive user interaction and processing-intensive machine learning intelligence. The technology will be hardware- and Android-version independent, to support ASTRI’s sensor technologies and 3rd party off-the-shelf hardware components. Unified APIs are provided for third party application developers to utilize fused sensing data and machine learning engine for developing innovative applications. Reference design of a high-efficiency embedded distributed mobile computing system using the above software technologies will be developed. Demo applications, a low-latency position tracking and streaming “Head-Mounted-Display” for virtual reality and gaming applications, and a wearable camera for surveillance applications, will be developed using the above platform technology for proof-of-technology, innovative applications/business opportunity, and early commercialization engagement purposes.
