Posters: Computers Everywhere: Finding Objects in “Strata Drawer”
نویسندگان
چکیده
Looking for a document in a stack of papers is a difficult job. If the “strata” of the drawer contents is known, then locating will be much easier. Strata Drawer is a camera-enhanced cabinet used for storage. This cabinet has a single, deep drawer equipped with a camera, a depth-sensor and a computer. When a user places an object in the drawer and closes it, a photograph is automatically taken, and the height of the contents is measured by a laser beam. A user can browse pictures of strata in the drawer’s contents, with timestamps and height information.

متن کاملThe computer science of everyday things
Computers are physically everywhere, mostly embedded inside everyday objects like CD players, telephones and cameras, and they affect our lives in numerous ways. Companies use computers, and almost all of our daily interaction with organisations, whether our employers or our supermarket, is constrained by what computers will allow. How we handle all sorts of information, from conventional magaz...
متن کاملDisappearing Computers Everywhere Living in a World of Smart Everyday Objects
Still in its infancy, the research area of ubiquitous computing involves integrating tiny microelectronic processors and sensors into everyday objects in order to make them smart. Smart things can detect their environment, therefore helping users to cope with their tasks in new, intuitive ways. Although many visionary concepts have already been tested out as prototypes in early field trials, ...
متن کاملPosters: Computers Everywhere: An Unencumbering, Localized Olfactory Display
Olfaction is considered to be an important sensory modality in next-generation virtual reality (VR) systems. We currently focus on spatiotemporal control of odor, rather than capturing and synthesizing odor itself. If we simply diffused the odor into the atmosphere, it would be difficult to clean it away in a short time. Several olfactory displays that inject the scented air under the nose thro...
