VR/AR Applications


EQ Radio

• Measuring your heartbeat and breath, CSAIL

device can tell if you’re excited, happy,

angry, or sad.

• EQ-Radio is a new technology that can infer a

person’s emotions using wireless signals.

• It transmits an RF signal and analyzes its

reflections off a person’s body to recognize his

emotional state (happy, sad, etc.).

• The key enabler underlying EQ-Radio is a new

algorithm for extracting the individual

heartbeats from the wireless signal at an

accuracy comparable to on-body ECG

monitors.

Outlook for 2018

1. Emotion Layer is Added

Acceleration of psychological and emotional

recognition (soon to be married to chatbots

and voice assistants)

2. Programmatic Layer Grows (taking data

from more sensors)

Consolidation of sensors into single everyday

devices with programmatic overlays (i.e.

subscribe to wellbeing, calm, happiness, focus

etc.)

3. More Hardware Disappears into

Background

Continued virtualization on hardware and

migration of sensors into the background (ex:

IOT and automotive cases), makes products

more accessible

4. Interfaces Becoming Simpler and

More Intuitive

Hands free and gesture navigation expanding

the use of AR, VR and Voice allowing for more

integrated-into-life TransTech products

5. Privacy and Ethics Concerns Taken On

Recognition of a need for ethics and privacy

driving an interest in applying blockchain to

non-medical psychological data
