The eGlasses project is focused on development of an open platform in a form of multisensory electronic eyeglasses and on integration and designing of new intelligent interaction methods using the eGlasses platform. This is an initial development on long-term research and technological innovation in perceptual and super-perceptual (e.g., heart rate, temperature) computing. It is an emerging technology that is also focused on creation of mobile, perceptual media.
Traffic congestion is a problem in many countries and with government budgets being squeezed, large road infrastructure projects and roadside assistance systems are no longer feasible. The I-GEAR project specifically addresses these problems by looking at new ways to change driver behaviour through the use of incentives, social networking and pervasive gaming concepts.
Today's security solutions do not provide WiFi users with the tools needed to asses the security risks associated with connecting to a WiFi network, in real time. It is impossible to verify that you are connected to the legitimate access point (AP) and not an imposter (Evil Twin). Nor do you have any information about the access point. Likewise the owners of WiFi access points have no means to clearly identify themselves for their users, so they will not be mistaken for an imposter.
BlackSwan is an engine using sensor information from smart devices (phones, watches, fitness bands) to assist the user in his behaviour for personal security and fitness. The core element for a first application is a personal e-Call system that helps the user in a personal emergency situation (accident, robbery, heart attack etc). Further applications are e.g. Automated Assistance Systems for elder people who need assistance and Personal Fitness Monitor.
V-SOC is a virtual Security Operation Centre that aims at providing security analytics and security event management (SIEM) as a cloud based service. Simply stated, “Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) automates incident identification and resolution based on built in business rules to help improve compliance and alert staff to critical intrusions” (source http://www.ukessays.com).
The market for mobile apps is divided into two major competing platforms for mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets): Google's Android and Apple's iOS. App providers have to decide whether to either limit the target market to one of the major market segments only or to reach the customers of both market segments by substantially extending the development efforts. In this domain, market diversity is of central importance, because market shares show high volatility.
Over the last few years, there has been an increasing interest in monitoring driving activities. Information about drivers and the way they drive is useful for several organizations, including car-insurers, fleet managers and traffic safety administrations. Moreover, new smartphones and mobile devices had enabled advance monitoring by embedding different motion sensors, GPS and data connectivity.
