Accessability with Semantic Marker® - Advanced Optical Visual Markers
Click on Titles below to learn about unique Accessability Features.
Augmented Reality is a powerful feature of the Semantic Marker® app.
In one mode, you get feedback with graphics to know the marker is the one you want (eg. a
graphic with "FEED DOG" shows up versus "PLAY MUSIC".
A really powerful feature of our Augmented Reality is that the SMART Buttons are interactive. This
means some can be showing the results of the environment (such as the amount of food left for the dog,
or the state of a sensor). This bi-directionaly interaction is only available because the MQTT messaging
of the full Semantic Marker® framework. You can see more at Github
This image shows a user scanning a Semantic Marker® located on that round device - which is our 3d printed
Internet of Things (IoT) dog feeder. The user feels via "haptics" that they are scanning that QR code,
but they are also seeing the results through the dog image in the iPhone display. This is Scooby Doo
and defined what "Augmented Reality" means. You see an image representing the object you are scanning.
Oh, the app is also sending an Internet of Things message via bluetooth (or MQTT) to that device as well - and it will feed the dog. Again "Agency!!"
Another feature of the Semantic Marker® is the ability to denote geospatial values, GPS values. The app will
run a SMART Button if the location is within some tolerance of the specified GPS value.
This section will be updated soon, but the remote education is a unique feature of Semantic Marker®.
In particular, you can send a Semantic Marker message in what we call the DOCFOLLOW remote education control feature.
Instead of sending images, documents or a zoom replicate of your screen, a specific message is sent that denotes
the specific optical marker. The users (or followers) then do things with that information. One valuable use
is to change their display to the page described by that marker's address.
The Semantic Marker® SMART Architecture Framework is extensive. It provides
a unique messaging approach to Internet of Things (IoT) processing. This framework is described
starting at Github Konacurrents. But the entire addressability
features are a necessary foundation for all the ability concepts describe on this web page.
Full IoT (Internet of Things) capabilities, including easy
to touch physical SMART Buttons (that are programmable), motion sensors, and others.
This image shows some of those buttons in various configurations, and accessable
by disabled users.
All these features and more are available through this app.
