ABSTRACT:
Is it possible to create a computer which can interact with us as we interact each other? For example imagine in a fine morning you walk on to your computer room and switch on your computer, and then it tells you Hey friend good morning you seem to be a bad mood today. And then it opens your mail box and shows you some of the mails and tries to cheer you. It seems to be a fiction, but it will be the life lead by BLUE EYES in the very near future. The basic idea behind this technology is to give the computer the human power. We all have some perceptual abilities. That is we can understand each others feelings. For example we can understand ones emotional state by analyzing his facial expression. If we add these perceptual abilities of human to computers would enable computers to work together with human beings as intimate partners. The BLUE EYES technology aims at creating computational machines that have perceptual and sensory ability like those of human beings. How can we make computers "see" and "feel"? Blue Eyes uses sensing technology to identify a user's actions and to extract key information. This information is then analyzed to determine the user's physical, emotional, or informational state, which in turn can be used to help make the user more productive by performing expected actions or by providing expected information. For example, in future a Blue Eyes-enabled television could become active when the user makes eye contact, at which point the user could then tell the television to "turn on". This paper is about the hardware, software, benefits and interconnection of various parts involved in the BLUE EYE technology.

INTRODUCTION:
Animal survival depends on highly developed sensory abilities. Likewise, human cognition depends on highly developed abilities to perceive, integrate, and interpret visual, auditory, and touch information. Without a doubt, computers would be much more powerful if they had even a small fraction of the perceptual ability of animals or humans. Adding such perceptual abilities to computers would enable computers and humans to work together more as partners. Toward this end, the Blue Eyes aims at creating computational devices with the sort of perceptual abilities that people take for granted Blue eyes is being developed by the team of Poznan University of Technology& Microsoft. It makes use of the blue tooth technology developed by Ericsson.

Central System Unit maintains the other side of the Blue tooth connection, buffers incoming sensor data, performs on-line data analysis, records the conclusions for further exploration and provides visualization interface. The BLUE EYES technology aims at creating computational machines that have perceptual and sensory ability like those of human beings. It also aims at giving the computers the ability to sense, recognize and respond to the human communication of emotion. For Hand: Emotion Mouse For Eyes: Expression Glasses For Body: Conductor Jacket TYPES OF EMOTIONAL SENSORS: Hand: Emotion Mouse One proposed, non-invasive method for gaining user information through touch is via a computer input device, the mouse. This then allows the user to relate the cardiac rhythm, the body temperature, electrical conductivity of the skin and other physiological attributes with the mood. This has led to the creation of the Emotion Mouse. The device can measure heart rate, temperature, galvanic skin response and minute bodily movements and matches them with six emotional states: happiness, surprise, anger, fear, sadness and disgust. The mouse includes a set of sensors, including infrared detectors and temperaturesensitive chips. These components, User researchers stress, will also be crafted into other commonly used items such as the office chair, the steering wheel, the keyboard and the phone handle. Eyes: Expression Glasses A wearable device which allows any viewer to visualize the confusion and interest levels of the wearer. Other recent developments in related technology is the attempt to learn the needs of the user just by following the interaction between the user and the computer in order to know what he/she is interested in at any given moment. For example, by remembering the type of websites that the user links to according to the mood and time of the day, the computer could search on related sites and suggest the results the user. Body: Conductors Jacket A jacket with an embedded sensor net worn by a conductor helps extend the conductors ability to express emotion and intentionality. Detecting Driver Stress A car outfitted with cameras and physiological sensors and used real-time signals to recognize driver stress as represented by road conditions, questionnaire responses and third-party observations. The subject wore five physiological sensors, an electrocardiogram (EKG) on the chest, an electro myogram (EMG) on the left shoulder, a chest cavity expansion respiration sensor (Resp.) around the diaphragm and two skin conductivity sensors (SC), one on his left hand and one on the left foot. The sensors were attached to a computer in the rear of the vehicle. A sample frame from the quad split video collected during the experiment. The upper left panel

WHAT IS BLUE EYES?


BLUE EYE is a technology, which aims at creating computational machines that have perceptual and sensory abilities like those of human beings The basic idea behind this technology is to give computer human power. For example, we can understand humans emotional state by his facial expressions. If we add these perceptual abilities to computers, we would enable them to work together with human beings as intimate partners. It provides technical means for monitoring and recording human-operators physiological condition.

KEY FEATURES OF THE SYSTEM: Visual attention monitoring (eye motility analysis). Physiological condition monitoring (pulse rate, blood
oxygenation).

Operators position detection (standing, lying). Wireless data acquisition using Bluetooth technology. Real-time user-defined alarm triggering. Physiological data, operators voice and overall view of the control room recording recorded data playback.

WHY ITS NAMED BLUE EYES?


Blue Eyes emphasize Bluetooth technology and the movements of the eyes. Bluetooth provides reliable wireless communication whereas the eye movements enable us to obtain a lot of interesting and important information.

PARTS OF A BLUE EYE SYSTEM :


The major parts in the Blue eye system are Data Acquisition Unit and Central System Unit. The tasks of the mobile Data Acquisition Unit are to maintain Bluetooth connections, to get information from the sensor and sending it over the wireless connection, to deliver the alarm messages sent from the Central System Unit to the operator and handle personalized ID cards.

The lower left panel shows road conditions and the lower right panel shows a visual trace of the physiological signals as they were being recorded. Working of Emotional Mouse: Sensors in the mouse sense the physiological attributes, which are correlated to emotions using a correlation model. The correlation model is derived from a calibration process in which a baseline attributetoemotion correlation is rendered based on statistical analysis of calibration signals generated by users having emotions that are measured or otherwise known at calibration time. A vector in N dimensions, representative of subject users emotions, is output or subsequent subject users whose emotions are sought to be known, with the baseline being the reference in the N-dimensional space of the vector. One goal of human computer interaction (HCI) is to make an adaptive, smart computer system. This type of project could possibly include gesture recognization, etc. another non- invasive way to obtain information about a person is through touch. People use their computers to obtain, store and manipulate data. In order to start creating smart computers, the computer must start gaining information about the user. Our proposed method for gaining user information through touch is via a computer input device, the mouse. From the physiological data obtained from the user, an emotional state may be determined which would then be related to the task the user is currently doing on computer. Over a period of time, a user model will be built in order to gain a sense of the users personality. The scope of the project is to have the computer adapt to the user in order to create a better working environment where the user is more productive.

Figure Showing Jazz-multi Sensor Communication with the operator is carried on using a simple 5key keyboard, a small LCD display and a beeper. When an exceptional situation is detected the device uses them to notify the operator. Voice data is transferred using a small headset, interfaced to the DAU with standard mini-jack plugs. The Data acquisition unit comprises several hardware modules

THE HARDWARE:
DATA ACQUISITION UNIT : Data Acquisition Unit is a mobile part of the Blue eyes system. Its main task is to fetch the physiological data from the sensor and to send it to the central system to be processed. To accomplish the task the device must manage wireless Bluetooth connections (connection establishment, authentication and termination). Personal ID cards and PIN codes provide operator's authorization.

Fig: Block Diagram of Data Acquisition Unit CENTRAL SYSTEM UNIT : Central System Unit hardware is the second peer of the wireless connection. The box contains a Bluetooth module (based on ROK101008) and a PCM codec for voice data transmission. The module is interfaced to a PC using a parallel, serial and USB cable. The audio data is accessible through standard mini-jack sockets over view of central system unit to program operator's personal ID cards we developed a simple programming device. The programmer is interfaced to a PC using serial and PS/2 (power source) ports. Inside, there is Atmel 89C2051 microcontroller, which handles UART transmission and I2C EEPROM (ID card) programming.

THE SOFTWARE:
Blue Eyes software's main task is to look after working

operators' physiological condition. To assure instant reaction on the operators' condition change the software performs real time buffering of the incoming data, real-time physiological data analysis and alarm triggering. The Blue Eyes software comprises several functional modules System core facilitates the transfers flow between other system modules (e.g. transfers raw data from the Connection Manager to data analyzers, processed data from the data analyzers to GUI controls, other data analyzers, data logger etc.). The System Core fundamental are single-producer-multiconsumer thread safe queues. Any number of consumers can register to receive the data supplied by a producer. Every single consumer can register at any number of producers, receiving therefore different types of data. Naturally, every consumer may be a producer for other consumers. This approach enables high system scalability new data processing modules (i.e. filters, data analyzers and loggers) can be easily added by simply registering as a costumer. CONNECTION MANAGER: Connection Manager is responsible for managing the wireless communication between the mobile Data Acquisition Unit the central system. The Connection Manager handles: communication with the CSU hardware searching for new devices in the covered range establishing Bluetooth connections connection authentication incoming data buffering sending alerts DATA ANALYSIS MODULE: Data Analysis module performs the analysis of the raw sensor data in order to obtain information about the operators physiological condition. The separately running Data Analysis module supervises each of the working operators. DATA MODULE: The module consists of a number of smaller analyzers extracting different types of information. Each of the analyzers registers at the appropriate Operator Manager or another analyzer as a data consumer and, acting as a producer, provides the results of the analysis. 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. The new modules are created using C4.5 decision tree induction algorithm VISUALIZATION MODE: Visualization module provides a user interface for the supervisors. It enables them to watch each of the working operators physiological condition along with a preview of

selected video source and related sound stream. All the incoming alarm messages are instantly signaled to the supervisor. The Visualization module can be set in an off-line mode, where all the data is fetched from the database. Watching all the recorded physiological parameters, alarms, video and audio data the supervisor is able to reconstruct the course of the selected operators duty. The physiological data is presented using a set of custom-built GUI controls: a pie-chart used to present a percentage of time the operator was actively acquiring the visual information A VU-meter showing the present value of a parameter time series displaying a history of selected parameters' value.

ADVANTAGES: Prevention from dangerous incidents


Minimization of ecological consequences financial loss a threat to a human life Blue Eyes system provides technical means for monitoring and recording human-operator's physiological condition.

Blue Eyes system can be applied in every working environment requiring permanent operator's attention: at power plant control rooms at captain bridges at flight control centers

Data security- This system implies data security which is require in the modern network system. Only registered mobile devices can connect to the system. Bluetooth connection authentication & encryption Access rights restrictions Personal and physiological data encryption

DISADVANTAGES:
Doesnt predict nor interfere with operators thoughts. Cannot force directly the operator to work.

CONCLUSION:
In future it is possible to create a computer which can interact with us as we interact each other with the use of blue eye technology. It seems to be a fiction, but it will be the life lead by BLUE EYES in the very near future. Ordinary household devices such as televisions, refrigerators, and ovens may be able to do their jobs when we look at them and speak to them. The gap between the electronic and physical world is reduced, provides more delicate and user friendly facilities in computing devices.
