ABSTRACT:
Is it possible to create a computer which can interact with us as we interact each other? For example imagine in a fine
morning you walk on to your computer room and switch on your computer, and then it tells you “Hey friend, good morning
you seem to be a bad mood today. And then it opens your mailbox and shows you some of the mails and tries to cheer you. It
seems to be a fiction, but it will be the life lead by “BLUE EYES” in the very near future. The basic idea behind this
technology is to give the computer the human power. We all have some perceptual abilities. That is we can understand each
others feelings. For example we can understand ones emotional state by analyzing his facial expression. If we add these
perceptual abilities of human to computers would enable computers to work together with human beings as intimate
partners. The “BLUE EYES” technology aims at creating computational machines that have perceptual and sensory ability
like those of human beings.
INTRODUCTION:
Animal survival depends on highly developed sensory abilities. Likewise, human cognition depends on highly developed
abilities to perceive, integrate, and interpret visual, auditory, and touch information. Without a doubt, computers would be
much more
powerful if they had even a small fraction of the perceptual ability of animals or humans. Adding such perceptual abilities to
computers would enable computers and humans to work together more as partners. Toward this end, the Blue Eyes aims at
creating computational devices with the sort of perceptual abilities that people take for granted Blue eyes is being developed
by the team of Poznan University of Technology& Microsoft. It makes use of the “blue tooth technology “developed by
Ericsson.
THE HARDWARE:
Data Acquisition Unit
Data Acquisition Unit is a mobile part of the Blue eyes system. Its main task is to fetch the physiological data from the
sensor and to send it to the central system to be processed. To accomplish the task the device must manage wireless
Bluetooth connections (connection establishment, authentication and termination). Personal ID cards and PIN codes provide
operator's authorization.

the Data Acquisition unit comprises several hardware modules figure showing data
acquisition unit
· Atmel 89C52 microcontroller - system core
· Bluetooth module (based on ROK101008)
· HD44780 - small LCD display
· 24C16 - I2C EEPROM (on a removable ID card)
· MC145483 – 13bit PCM codec
· Jazz Multisensor interface
· beeper and LED indicators, 6 AA batteries and voltage level monitor
BLUE-EYES BENEFITS:
Prevention from dangerous incidents Minimization of ecological consequences financial loss a threat to a human life Blue
Eyes system provides technical means for monitoring and recording human-operator's physiological condition. The key
features of the system are:
· visual attention monitoring (eye motility analysis)
· physiological condition monitoring (pulse rate, blood oxygenation)
· operator's position detection (standing, lying)
· wireless data acquisition using Blue tooth technology
· real-time user-defined alarm triggering
· physiological data, operator's voice and overall view of the control room recording
· recorded data playback
Blue Eyes system can be applied in every working environment requiring permanent operator's attention:
· at power plant control rooms
· at captain bridges
· at flight control centres
CONCLUSION:
In future it is possible to create a computer which can interact with us as we interact each other with the use of blue eye
technology. It seems to be a fiction, but it will be the life lead by “BLUE EYES” in the very near future. ordinary household
devices -- such as televisions, refrigerators, and ovens -- may be able to do their jobs when we look at them and speak to
them.
