Games Studio Seminar on Smart Glasses by Dr Kai Zhan on 21 Apr 2015 2pm CB11.06.408

[Chek Tien Tan]

Hi everyone,

We're hosting Kai's talk on Hope to see you guys on Tues.

When: 

21 April 2015

Where: 

Building 11, Level 6, Room 408

Title: 

Smart Glasses - An innovative healthcare technology for elderly and patients

Abstract: 

With advances in sensing technology, automatic recognition of human activities has become a popular research topic. Miniaturised wearable devices can now collect and process the data during activities of daily living. Such technologies rely on algorithms that can effectively combine and interpret wearable sensor data to identify different activities. In this talk I will present one of my recent work in healthcare technology-- the `Smart Glasses'. This device is able to recognise the subjects' activities of daily living (ADLs) using their first-person vision and motion data.
