PHONE FEATURES ENHANCEMENTS

• Audio• Video• WiFi• Bluetooth• Touchscreen• Sensors

MOBILE DEVICE + RASPBERRY PI PROJECTS

• Siri Proxy• A service running on Raspberry Pi• Opening/closing a garage door• Accessing through GPIO pins• Relay controllers• Complete project details with installation

• http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/12/09/how-to-install-siri-proxy-tutorial-video/

• iPhone users (4S)

MORE PROJECTS• PiUi – Control Pi with phone• Mobile phone interface for Rpi• Web based GUI / application• Code in python as web services• Complete project details• http://blog.davidsingleton.org/introducing-piui/

• Android and iPhone

MORE PROJECTS CONT…• Android transporter and RPi• Streaming phone screen content to remote screens• RPi as media hub• Almost real time streaming• Cheap gaming console• Video player• RPi feature : XBMC• Link

• http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1512• http://esrlabs.com/

MORE PROJECTS CONT…• Remote controlled car• RPI setup on a car• WiFi connectivity with phones• Server: Kaazing JMS Web sockets• Remote commands like turn and stop

WHAT IS JMS• Java Message Service

• API enables publishing and subscribing messages• Between multiple clients and a message broker

• JMS Provider• A proprietary JMS implementation like EMS, JBoss, Informatica UM

• JMS Client• Process that sends and receives messages

• JMS producer• JMS client receiving messages from provider

• JMS Queue• Contains messages that are not yet by consumer

• JMS Topic• Mechanism for distributing and publishing messages to multiple consumers

ARDUINO• Arduino• Open source prototyping platform• Creating interactive objects• Not a computer• ArdOS • Own programming language• Less costly

PHONES + ARDUINO• Interaction using Bluetooth/USB• IR receivers

• Projects• Control Android phone using apple remote

• http://www.instructables.com/id/iAndroidRemote-Control-Android-mobile-using-an-A/

• Arduino based android• Google announcement• Variety of accessories controlled by android

BEYOND SMARTPHONES• Google glass• Small monitor like eyeglasses• A camera, microphone, memory, GPS and WiFi

• FitBit• Wearable device on wrist• Wireless connectivity• Monitors movement, sleep and calories burnt• Data collection

BEYOND SMARTPHONES CONT…• Clothing app with arduino• LilyPad chip set• Sewn into clothes• Add LEDs• LEDs can lighten depending on song playing on phone

• Jacket from Hammacher Schlemmer• Five button control system• Change tracks forward/backward, play, pause, volume

BEYOND SMARTPHONES CONT…• Skully Helmet

• Heads-up display• GPS maps• Rear view camera covering blind spots• Smartphone integration for voice control using bluetooth

• NFC enabled phones• Near Field Communication• Radio communication• By touch or closer proximity no more than few inches• Replacing ID cards with smartphones

FUTURE RESEARCH

• Flexible displays• Research under way• Rolled or folded• Programmable tattoos• Video fliers or windows
