About This Training
Touchless interfaces are widely preferred for commercial and residential buildings to grant easier access, as well as reduce the spread of infection from frequently touched surfaces. We expect human machine interfaces (HMI) in buildings to be intuitive, responsive and reliable, which typically means the equipment should run in a standalone mode without needing a network or cloud connection outside the building.
- Equipment must respond even if everyone in the building is logged in and overloading the bandwidth
- Many interactions need privacy and security. Sometimes it is best to never let our information leave the building….or if it does go out, to keep that raw data off the cloud and to transmit a smaller set of semantic data
- It is expensive to transmit every little gesture or facial expression to a cloud service. Processing at the edge helps us avoid expensive network costs, such as cell phone data fees
So what kind of hardware and software platforms can process touchless interfaces at the edge? How do you know if they will work in your environment? How can you get started on an evaluation and design? This session will describe and demonstrate some existing in-building multimode edge processing solutions for face, voice and gesture recognition, plus an innovative ultrawide band (UWB) mobile device-to-building interface approach.
