9 Fractio This ipad app was created thanks to combined effort of Academic Technology Center, School of Education, Computer Science Department and North Carolina State University App helps students (grades 3-6) with learning concepts of fractions. What distincts the app from others is that is aligned with Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Teachers and students could use this app for teaching and learning of concept of fractions. It s currently available on the app store.

10 ibeacons

11 ibeacon ibeacon is a name of technology that is enabling new location awareness possibilities for estimation of proximity to a beacon [1]. Leveraging Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a device with ibeacon technology can be used to establish a region around an object. This allows an ios device to determine when it has entered or left the region, along with an estimating distance to the ibeacon device.

12 How does it work? User enters the beacon s region 2. App recognizes it and starts approximating its distance from/to the beacon 3. App identifies an ibeacon, it s proximity and displays data related to it

13 ibeacon Use Cases Retail Contextualized deals: based on time, location, client Monitoring Shopping Behavior storing and analyzing data about customer s behavior Indoor Mapping Education Contextual learning can be used in libraries, art museums, scavenger hunts, student orientation Healthcare Identifying location of patient, doctor. Social/Dating Detecting users with the same preferences nearby Hospitality Automated check in

14 Supported Hardware Any device capable of connecting with BLE is capable of interacting with the ibeacons Apple: ipad Mini or later iphone 4s or later ipod Touch 4th generation or later ipad 3rd generation or later Mac Book Air, Mac Book Pro, Mac Pro with BLE Android Google Nexus 4,5,7,10 Samsung Galaxy ibeacons are in hundreds of million devices around us!

15 Projects 1. Hospital Notifications. Implemented in Miami s Hospital 2. Tracking hospital personnel: improving quality of patient care 3. Tracking patients of Senior House Living

16 igerm Deployed in Hospital of Miami Available on the AppStore Shows hand-hygiene related notifications to triggered by the beacons contains database of handhygiene questions

18 System Components

19 System Components Component Description Role Front- End Website Management App Customer Facing Mobile App Nurse barcode Website that users use to manage content associated with learning stations, and also display information for potential customers or users Manages ibeacons, monitors battery life. Most of ibeacon producers have free software to manage their beacons. Caregiver mobile app that interacts with ibeacons, sends data about events to the web application. Displays patients information. It is used to identify caregiver, patient and medication. At the beginning of the sim visit nurse authenticates herself by scanning the barcode. She/he needs to authenticate herself again before administration of the medicine. Managing Content and Interactions Marketing Analytics Beacon management and maintenance sends data about events to web application interacts with ibeacons display patient s information displays warnings servers as a barcode reader For self identification and authentication Patients barcodes For patient identification. Need to be scanned with bar code reader in the app. Patient identification Medication barcode For medication identification. Needs to be scanned by caregiver Medicine identification ibeacons Mini Bluetooth LE devices that are used by mobile app to determine proximity to different objects, and time the events Proximity and timestamps

22 Wearables

23 Wearable Devices in Education Pebble Time Steel Jawbone EEG Headbands Google Glass

24 Wearables - Watches Applications: Polling Quizzes Notifications Identifying and tracking students

25 Glasses: Augmenting Reality Devices: Google Glass HoloLens Applications visualizing work immersive trainings collaboration (2.41)

26 Brain-Computer Interface Another communication and control option in the interaction between users and systems Applications Assistive care providing an alternative communicative medium for whose cannot use a keyboard or mouse Gaming Training and education - measuring plasticity Cognitive Improvement - neurofeedback, attention span

27 BCI History 1924 : Hans Berger, a German neuroscientist, discovers the electrical activity of the human brain with EEG 1970: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of USA initiates program to explore brain communications using EEG 1976: UCLA s Brain Computer Interface Laboratory provides evidence that single trial visual evoked potentials could be used as a communication channel effective enough to control a cursor through a two-dimensional maze. Profess or Jacques J. Vidal coins the term BCI. 1998: First (invasive, non-eeg) implant in the human brain that produces high quality signals 1999: BCI is used to aid a quadriplegic for limited hand movement 2002: Monkeys are trained to control a computer cursor 2003: First BCI game is demonstrated to the public (BrainGate) 2005: Monkey brain controls a robotic arm 2008: Voiceless phone calls are demonstrated (The Audeo TI developers conference)

28 EEG electroencephalogram EEG is a A test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, flat metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp. Your brain cells, also known as neurons, communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time The average human brain has about 100 billion neurons, an EEG test can track changes in neuron activity that may be useful in diagnosing brain disorders. Raw Data, EEG Band Frequencies An EEG has different bands, defined by the frequency of the waves; delta (slow) waves are less than 4 Hz; theta bands are 4-8 Hz; alpha bands range from 8 to 12 Hz; beta bands are anywhere from about Hz, gamma bands range from Hz. Each of these bands are associated with different states of mental activity.

29 Bands Gamma Waves Too much: Anxiety, high arousal, stress Too little: ADHD, depression, learning disabilities Optimal: Binding senses, cognition, information processing, learning, perception, REM sleep Beta Waves Too much: Adrenaline, anxiety, high arousal, inability to relax, stress Too little: ADHD, daydreaming, depression, poor cognition Optimal: Conscious focus, memory, problem solving Alpha Waves Too much: Daydreaming, inability to focus, too relaxed Too little: Anxiety, high stress, insomnia, OCD Optimal: Relaxation Theta Waves Too much: ADHD, depression, hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattentiveness Too little: Anxiety, poor emotional awareness, stress Optimal: Creativity, emotional connection, intuition, relaxation Delta Waves Too much: Brain injuries, learning problems, inability to think, severe ADHD Too little: Inability to rejuvenate body, inability to revitalize the brain, poor sleep Optimal: Immune system, natural healing, restorative / deep sleep

31 FAQ 1. What s the leading IoT platform? Android? 1. When was developed the first IoT device? In 1832 when Baron Schilling in Russia created an electromagnetic telegraph IoT was used as a name of the presentation 1. What s the role of IPv6 in IoT? 2011: IPV6 public launch - The new protocol allows for (approximately 340 undecillionor 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456) we could assign an IPV6 address to every atom on the surface of the earth, and still have enough addresses left to do another 100+ earths. 4. Issues? privacy concerns, security, costs, standards, regulations, 5. What s the profit of IoT 2014: Billion in revenue comparing to $1 trillion in What s the main usage of ibeacon? Retail 7. Differences between NFC (no power source) and BLE (must have a power source) Active NFC can communicate with Passive NFC devices. Active RFID are very similar to ibeacons
