3. ABSTRACT
‘Blue Eyes’ is the technology to make computers sense and
understand human behavior and feelings and react in the
proper ways through gadgets.The machine can understand
what a user wants, where he is looking at and realize his
physical or emotional states. Blue eyes uses sensing
technology to identify a user’s actions and to extract key
information. The information is then analyzed to determine
user’s physical, emotional or informational state which in turn
can be used to make the user more productive by performing
expected actions or by providing expected information.
Adding the perceptual abilities of human to computers, would
enable computers to interact and work together with human
beings as intimate partners.

4. INTRODUCTION
BLUE EYES technology started at IBM's Almaden
Research Centre in USA.
Gives computers highly developed abilities to
perceive, integrate and interpret visual, auditory and
touch information.
Aims at creating computational machines that have
perceptual and sensory ability.
Monitors and records operator’s conscious brain
involvement .

5. WHAT IS BLUE EYES??
Provides technical means for monitoring and recording
human-operator's physiological condition.
BLUE-Bluetooth
EYES-eye moment enables to obtain lot of information.
key features are:
• Visual attention monitoring.
• Physiological condition monitoring.
• Operator's position detection.
• Wireless data acquisition.
• Real-time user-defined alarm triggering. 5
6. • To avoid and reduce human limitation such as:
Tiredness
Oversight
Mental illness, etc
• Monitoring of conscious brain involvement
(automation, long driving)
• To built a machine that can understand your
emotions.
• Verify your identity, feels your presence and interact
with you.
Why Blue Eyes??

8. HARDWARE
Monitors status of operator’s visual attention.
Checks parameters like heart beat rate and blood
oxygenation.
Triggers user defined alarms.
Mobile device is integrated with bluetooth module.
Adequate user profiles provide necessary data
personalization.
Data security.
Consists of
• Mobile measuring device(DAU)
• Central system unit 8
10. Contd.
• Fetch physiological data from sensor.
• Send it to central system for processing.
• Manage wireless bluetooth connection.
• Personal ID cards and PIN codes provide operator’s
authorization.
10
11. Contd.
DAU comprises of several hardware modules
Atmel 89C52 microcontroller - system core
Bluetooth module based on ROK101008
HD44780 - small LCD display
24C16 - I2C EEPROM (on a removable ID card)
MC145483 – 13bit PCM codec
Jazz Multisensor interface
Beeper and LED indicators.
11
13. Contd..
• Supplies raw physical data regarding eye
position,level of blood oxygenation.
• Eye position measuring - direct infrared oculography
• Oxy- and deoxyheamoglobin measurement.
• Two axial accelerometer
• Ambient light sensor
13
15. Central System Unit
Maintains BT connections.
Buffers incoming sensor data.
Performs on-line data analysis.
Records the conclusion for further exploration.
Provides visualization interface.
PCM codec for voice data transmission.
Module is interfaced to a PC using a parallel,serial
and USB cable.
15
16. SOFTWARE
• Performs real time buffering of incoming data.
• Real time physiological data analysis.
• Alarm triggering
• System core facilitates transfer flow between system
modules.
• Consists of four modules.
16
18. CONNECTION MANAGER MODULE
Manages wireless communication between mobile
DAU and central system.
Connection Manager handles:
• Communication with CSU hardware
• Searching for new devices in covered
range
• Establishing Bluetooth connections
• Connection authentication
• Incoming data buffering
• Sending alerts
18
19. DATA ANALYSIS MODULE
Analysis of raw sensor data.
Supervises working operators.
Large number of smaller analyzers extracting
information.
The most important analyzers are:
• Saccade detector - monitors eye movements in order
to determine the level of operator's visual attention
• Pulse rate analyzer - uses blood oxygenation signal to
compute operator's pulse rate
• Custom analyzers - recognize other behaviors than
those which are built-in the system.
19
20. DATA LOGGER MODULE
• The raw or processed physiological data, alerts and
operator's voice are stored.
• A Voice Data Acquisition module delivers the voice
data.
20
21. VISUALIZATION MODULE
Provides a user interface for the supervisors.
Enables to watch each of the working operator’s
physiological condition.
Incoming alarm messages are instantly signalled.
Can be set in an offline mode, where all data is
fetched from database.
Reconstruct course of selected operator’s duty.

22. TECHNOLOGIES USED
• Emotion Mouse.
• Manual And Gaze Input Cascaded (MAGIC).
• Artificial Intelligent Speech Recognition.
• Simple User Interest Tracker (SUITOR).
22
23. Emotion Mouse
Non-invasive method for gaining user information
through touch.
Measure heart rate, temperature, galvanic skin
response and minute bodily movements
Matches with six emotional states: happiness,
surprise, anger, fear,sadness and disgust.
Includes different sensors including pressure
sensor,heart beat sensor,temperature sensor.
23
25. Manual and Gage Input Cascading
(MAGIC)
• pointing appears to
user to be a manual task
• used for fine
manipulation and
selection.
• Webcam is used to
determine glints and
pupils of user.
• Wrap cursor to every
new object cursor looks
at.
25
26. SPEECH RECOGNITION
• user speaks to computer through a microphone.
• Switched capacitor digital filters are used.
• ADC samples filter outputs.
• Each sample represents different amplitude of signal.
• Converted to binary number proportional to
amplitude of sample.
• Binary repesentation of words become
standards/templates and stored in memory.
• Input words are scanned and matched .
• When best match occurs,word is identified and
displayed on screen.
26
27. The Simple User Interest Tracker
(SUITOR)
• Fetches more information at desktop.
• Notice where the user’s eyes focus on the screen.
• Precise in determining user’s topic of interest.
• Deliver relevant information to a handheld device.
• Eg-If reading headline ,pops up story in browser
window.
27
28. Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
Prevention from dangerous incidents.
The reconstruction of the course of operator’s work.
Minimization of
ecological consequences.
financial loss.
a threat to a human life.
Disadvantages
Requires Miniaturization.
Not 100% accurate.
Expensive

30. SUMMARY
• Provide more delicate and user friendly facilities in
computing devices.
• Gap between the electronic and physical world is
reduced.
• Computers can be run using implicit commands
instead of explicit commands.
• In future, ordinary household devices- such as
television may be able to do their jobs when we look
at them and speak to them
