SmartRetina
Generic Gesture Tracking Platform
SmartRetina is a gesture-tracking platform. SmartRetina is used to develop Retina Based Interfaces – Interfaces which:
1. Purely use visual interaction and can fully function without using text or audio.
2. Strictly serve as translators between human gestures and machine functions.
3. Can be self-explanatory at their introductory level, since representations of the supported gestures can serve as the actual visual interface (a reflexive interface)
4. Can act as self-organizing systems.
Retina Based Interfaces therefore escape both the language barrier and the age barrier.
Since SmartRetina serves only as a translator between human gestures and machine functions, these machine functions can include usage of audio, text and actuators thus expanding SmartRetina’s capabilities beyond the visual.
Example Scenario 1
SmartRetina can be used as a navigating tool combined with Google earth. SmartRetina captures the user’s hand gestures, understanding them as computer actions such as up, down, left, right, Zoom In etc, then sends the commands to the application via underlying operating system (Google earth in example)
