Modularized multimedia framework for multi-modal and multi-functional interactions

Smart Architectural Surface is a novel and highly integrated planar construct for diversified smart home services with networked smart cell units equipped with various sensing, cognition and actuation capabilities that would allow run-time polymorphism as the basis for functional changes for various event-driven operation scenarios. The SAS system can demonstrate the outcomes of collective intelligence that are mediated by various multi-modal interactions. Current SAS prototype is capable of polymorphous functional changes for dynamically adjustable electronic wallpaper, location/distance-aware video conferencing, personalized information browser, and automatic responses to various unintended events. Future applications would harness machine learning and machine vision techniques and will explore the advantages of having computational ecology of its digital modular units constituting smart wall system for multi-modal and multi-functional interactions.
