1 Kyle Rafferty Biomedical Engineering University of Rhode Island

2  Developed by Pranav Mistry  Research assistant/PhD candidate MIT  Portable device that is worn around neck  Consists of:  Camera  Colored Markers  Projector  *a smart phone

3  Camera: tracks the movement of the colored markers using movement algorithms.  Colored Markers: Red, blue, green, and yellow tape worn on the users fingertips for tracking purposes.  Projector: Projects stored data onto most any surface.  Smart phone: needed for internet connection and computing power

4  Recognizes hand movements  Examples from online demonstrations:  Make frame with hands: camera takes picture  Google map onto wall  Draw circle on wrist: projects digital clock  Movement of text book/web info onto page  Airline ticket updates  Draw @ symbol: check email for you  Many more capabilities (it’s on youtube or TED website)

5

6  Cost: ~300$  Software will be open source  Many possible medical applications using the technology  Surgical procedures (using tracking capabilities)  Rehabilitation techniques
