THE INTERNET OF VISION ENABLED THINGS Tom Brennan Artemis Vision
DEFINING THE INTERNET OF THINGS Requirements of the Device: Intelligence: Must have some processing capability Sensors: Must somehow gather information about the world Communications: Must transmit meaningful information
THE INTERNET OF THINGS? The Dream Everything is going to be connected Every device will be a smart device Devices will manage themselves automatically People will be unburdened from routine tasks
THE REALITY For some things: on and off will always be easier User training: People know how to use non-smart things. Will they quickly learn to use the smart replacement? Power use: Everything will need to be charged Cost: All IoT devices will cost more than non-iot, what benefits will the consumer see? Technical Obsolescence and Long Term Support: How do I manage my smart light switches? Smart Plumbing?
OVERCOMPLICATION
FEAR
FEAR
HUMAN FACTORS Important IoT Question: Does this really solve a problem?
IS THIS SO NEW? You already own vision enabled smart devices. You probably own too many. TV Remote uses NIR Vision
IS A REMOTE CONTROL IOT The remote doesn t connect to the internet? But the TV may? Apple TV, Roku The TV may just be a TV screen connected to a computer.
A VISION IOT CASE STUDY A single family home in Denver Control System with Optical Mouse TV screen Internet Connected PC Internet of Vision Enabled Things?
ADD A CAMERA Add a Camera Any Device can now be remote controlled From a traditional remote control From your phone by sending out IR light From ambient light From motion
DOES IT SOLVE A PROBLEM? Why do I own a vision enabled IOT system? It solves a problem. But how many more problems are there that vision can solve? Watching the stove? Telling you what you have in the fridge? Watching kids?
COMING HOME Smart Doorbell? Scan Package = Access Granted
WHAT WILL WE BUY? How far will we go to solve problems? What will consumers invest in?
MISTAKEN MARKET? Besides TV Remote, maybe the internet of things and vision won t deploy broadly to the home first.
VISION IOT OUTSIDE THE HOME Estimates vary but the average American is said to be photographed upwards of 75 times per day. Cameras are widely deployed by municipalities, retailers and other businesses. These camera investments were made largely without the justification of a smart benefit.
DEPLOYMENT FOR BUSINESS Non-industrial Businesses = compelling market. Cost, Power Consumption: Business Incurs Real Costs from all Non- Intelligent Systems User Training: Employee is Instructed How to Use the System. Overcomes Opting Out or Reticence. Technical Obsolescence and Long Term Support: 2 year payback mindset, less focus on issues that may emerge many years out.
BENEFITS OF VISION Proven: Millions of security cameras, barcode readers and photoeyes deployed. Non-Contact: Kitchens, Bathrooms, Clean Rooms, Hospitals. Flexible: Functionality can be changed with code. Inexpensive: <$10 in many cases.
VISION ENABLED THINGS Some are already deployed: Barcode Scanner: $100 and up Towel Dispenser: $49 Motion Sensor and Visitor Chime: $12
RETAIL Now Barcode Scanners and POS (point of sale) systems are connected to the internet. Newer systems ID items without barcode, via smart carts or security footage.
RETAIL Now visitor chimes connected to the internet let managers reallocate staff Sensors track customers and employees. Produce detailed datasets.
TRAFFIC Systems detect cars, bikes, manage flows and enforce rules (red light cameras)
OPPORTUNITIES Outside The Home: Large networks of existing cameras waiting for algorithms Inside the Home: Vision is in surprising places (TV remote, optical mouse) and new applications are emerging (doorbell)
