    Get rid of your bot remote controls and use the exciting Gesture Recognition technology to control it. The power of such technology is that it brings people closer to machines, allowing humans to interact with computers and digital systems using just the click of one’s fingers, or even the wink of an eyebrow. Would you like to tell a robot where to go simply by pointing? Or perhaps even ‘talk’ to a computer through sign language? If you are the illustrious individual who wishes to get a grip of what it truly means to be‘in control’,

    Quark brings you VisionBOTics Workshop, just the kick start you need.

     

    Date: February 1st and 2nd, 2013.

    Venue: BITS Pilani KK Birla Goa Campus.

    Duration: 16 hours spread over 2 days.

    Course content

     

    This workshop will provide college students a base to Machine vision and Image Processing. They will learn the Automation technology and get better understanding and grip on its application. These projects focus on the application and use of technology rather than their internal working so that a person can grasp the concepts well. This workshop deals with interfacing digital world with physical world.
