Our Project Next generation communication system for vehicles Simple, real-time visual communication Multi-touch input Driver’s gestures produce an output on LEDs around the perimeter of a car Color-coded messages Tri-color LEDs produce blue, green, yellow, orange, and red outputs
Examples of Multi-touch inputs to LED outputs 1 finger swipe to the left causes the left side of the car to illuminate blue 2 fingers swiped to the right hand side would produce a similar effect on the drivers side of the car in green 3 fingers will be yellow 4 fingers will be orange 5 fingers will be red
PSSCs The ability to: Recognize and interpret multi-touch gestures Drive a large number of LEDs Control the intensity of each LED Display at least two light patterns with clear communicative value Wirelessly translate data from the multi-touch input pad to the LED controller
