We present the Tangerine Smart Micrel Cube (SMCube) a smart device for Human Computer Interaction (HCI). The SMCube is a tangible smart object equipped with sensors (digital tri-axes accelerom- eter as default) and actuators (infrared LEDs, vibro-motors) embedded in a wooden cube. Data from accelerometer is used to locally detect the active face (the one directed upward) and a set of gesture performed by the user. These information are wirelessly sent to a base station for processing. Furthermore, through the LEDs the node can interact with a vision based system in a multi modal activity detection scenario.

Abstract
We present the Tangerine Smart Micrel Cube (SMCube) a smart device for Human Computer Interaction (HCI). The SMCube is a tangible smart object equipped with sensors (digital tri-axes accelerom- eter as default) and actuators (infrared LEDs, vibro-motors) embedded in a wooden cube. Data from accelerometer is used to locally detect the active face (the one directed upward) and a set of gesture performed by the user. These information are wirelessly sent to a base station for processing. Furthermore, through the LEDs the node can interact with a vision based system in a multi modal activity detection scenario.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
