Blue eye technology
( blue eyes –Human operator monitoring system )
Motivation
Human error - a frequent reason of catastrophes and ecological disasters
What is blue eye technology ?
The BLUE EYES technology aims at creating computational machines that have perceptual and sensory ability like those of human beings.
How can we make computers “see” and “feel” ?
Blue eyes uses sensing technology to identify a user’s actions and to extract key information.
Information is then analyzed to determine the user’s physical ,emotional ,or informational state.
What is BlueEyes ?
The complex solution for human-operator monitoring:
Visual attention monitoring
Physiological condition
Operator’s position detection
Wireless data acquisition using bluetooth
Real time user defined alarm triggering
Recorded data playback
What is BlueEyes not?
Doesn’t predict nor interfere with operator’s thoughts
Cannot force directly the operator to work
Applications of BlueEyes
Generic control rooms
(System can be applied in every working environment
requiring permanent operator’s attention)
Power station
Captain bridge
Flight control centers
Operating theatres – anesthesiologists
BlueEyes - benefits
Implementation and engineering considerations
-THREE groups of users
OPERATOR -a person whose physiological parameters are supervised
- authorization in the system
- receiving alerts
SUPERVISOR – a person responsible for analyzing operator’s
condition and performance.
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS- maintains the system
deliver tools for adding
- new operator’s to the database
- defining alarm conditions
- configuring logging tools
- creating new analyzer modules
Designing
A personal area network for linking all the operators and the supervising system
Two major units
DAU (data acquisition unit )
CSU (central system unit )
System overview
The eye movement sensor
Off-shelf eye movement sensor – Jazz multisensor
Supplies raw digital data regarding
Eye position
Level of blood oxygenation
Acceleration along horizontal and vertical axes
Ambient light intensity
Jazz multisensor

DAU
The DAU consists of the following components
ATMEL 8952 microcontroller
BLUE TOOTH MODULE – supports synchronous voice data transmission
PCM CODEC –used to transmit operator’s voice and central system sound feedback
UART –communication between bluetooth module and microcontroller (115200 bps)
MAX232 –level shifter
ALPHAUNUMERIC LCD display
LED indicators
ID CARD interface
DAU - components
Microcontroller & blue tooth module
EEPROMS & the PCB
Implementation - DAU
DAU - features
Lightweight
Runs on batteries - low power consumption
Easy to use - does not disturb the operator working
ID cards for operator authorization
Voice transmission using hardware PCM codec
CSU - features
CSU – components
CONNECTION MANAGER – main task to perform low-level blue tooth communication
DATA ANALYSIS MODULE – performs the analysis of the raw sensor data in order to obtain information about operator’s physiological condition
DATA LOGGER MODULE – provides support for storing the monitored data.
VISULAIZATION MODULE – provides user interface for the supervisors
CSU - Visualization Module
Data security
Only registered mobile devicescan connect to the system
Bluetooth connection authentication
Bluetooth connection encryption
Access rights restrictions
Personal and physiological data encryption
IBM research
BLUE EYE – EMOTIONAL MOUSE
sensors in the mouse ,sense the physiological attributes which are correlated to emotions using correlation model
-by simply touching the mouse ,the computer will be able to determine a person’s emotional state.
BLUE EYE enabled TELEVISION – could become active when the user makes an eye contact.
Conclusion
In the near future ,ordinary household devices- such as television , refrigerators ,ovens may be able to do their jobs when we look at them and speak to them.
Future applications of blue eye technology is limitless
