SIICS Surface Independent Interactive Computer System

Winner of Microsoft Imagine Cup Software Design Accessibility Innovation Award 2010, SiiCS* can convert any surface into an interactive touch screen and users can interact using natural finger gestures. SiiCS can recognize many objects from the real world and extract related information from the internet and either display it on the object itself or speak it out to the user in case of Visually impaired people. SiiCS derives its motivation from MIT Sixth sense technology, Microsoft surface and Nintendo Wii. The difference here is that SiiCS is dedicated to Visually impaired people and handicapped people apart from regular users.SiiCS represents the intersection of the Computer Science most significant concepts like Human Computer Interaction, Surface independent computing, Machine Vision & Object detection, Gestural computing and Text to speech systems.
*SiiCS is still in the pre beta stage.
