HACKFEST

Let us introduce you Jacques. 
(with Nicolas IBARLUCIA)

Our main topic was a smart canne, to assist blind people in their daily itineraries throughout the city.
We realized that a group of students from Nancy came up with that idea in 2014.
We then decided to add some abilities (but the initial canne was already a marvelous object !) : Jacques will be able to indicate the location and time, steps and obstacles to destination. It is paired with a headset to give the details to the person using it. Jacques is also able to give a precise daily forecast to avoid any late surprise.
In addition, it is able to send messages through the headset micro and receive/make phonecalls.
It indicates its user the next red lights, and when is the right moment to cross it.
The next tool is still a prototype : the user will have a ring on one of his finger, and in any supermarket, whatever product he/she takes in his/her hand will be detected by the ring and detailed through the headset.


We had a nice promotional video made through Animoto but despite having changed the internet connection, the video is still blocked on producing. We are only able to duplicate to continue editing, and once there, it is impossible to produce the preview/final video.
Here are some screenshots to show the small issue we had, we will do our best to find a solution soon !

As we saw in the first example, a customer can have an overview of Tokyo Shangri-La without even being in Japan.  An AR video will dedicated to a live use, Holiday-inn sponsored AR videos with english athletes to welcome guests : with their phones, guests were able to see the athletes standing in the lobby or windsurfing on the bed ! To what sector could it benefit the most ?  The sector that could benefit the most from it is definitely the tourism sector. Through map a
