  Activity 1 - Real Users For the following pictures decide what existing or fantasy input/output devices would benefit them. Remember people have five senses sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing, so you might want to create devices for each of them – there is also the possibility of direct brain input. Look at the users and make assumptions on what I/O devices would benefit them. Either a corporate worker, telephone operator, telemarketer Input Devices: Computer Keyboard:  Used for typing and entering data. Mouse or Trackpad:  Enables navigation and interaction with graphical user interfaces. Touchscreen:  Some devices, such as laptops or tablets, may have touchscreens for direct interaction. Scanner:  Used to convert physical documents or images into digital format. Barcode Scanner:  Common in inventory management or asset tracking. Biometric Devices:  Such as fingerprint scanners or facial recognition for security and authentication. Microphone...

The lively metropolis of 2038, Raya, a tech pioneer with a desire for ground-breaking innovations, stood at the precipice of a revelation that would redefine the very essence of artificial intelligence. Returning to her childhood home, she brought with her a holographic interface that crackled with anticipation. Mrs. Wallace, her tech-savvy yet aging mother, marvelled at the holographic schematics that danced before her.   "What's this new venture, dear?" Mrs.  Wallace  inquired, her eyes a mix of wonder and familiarity.   With an air of suspense, Raya revealed her latest project—a leap beyond mere efficiency. She was crafting an emotionally intelligent AI companion, one that not only managed household tasks but offered genuine companionship. This holographic assistant, fuelled by neural networks and quantum computing, possessed the ability to understand and respond to human emotions with unprecedented nuance.   "Mom, it's not just about tasks anymore. This AI c...

see footnote for image reference   This week's assignment is about future predictions. We base these predictions upon the trends currently happening, where and how we can evolve with them. I foretell that the integration with AI will continue to increase heavily that it will be merged across various operations and industries. Predominantly in the financial sector with aids in fraud detection, risk management and customer service. Footnote Sigma Software (2020)  Data and Artificial Intelligence in Banking .

  Smart Systems and Sensors Continuing with the previous week's topic of Sensors. We've learned about the PIR sensor using different outputs. A PIR (Passive Infrared sensor) is an electronic device which measures with  infrared light from movements of people, animals or other objects. It is a motion detector to sense things within its line of sight. It is most commonly used in alarms or automatic activated lighting systems. To set up this device we need the following items to begin: PIR sensor (input) Arduino  USB Cable Yellow LED (short side -ve and long side +ve) (Output) F-M Dupont Wires Underneath and Underside of the PIR Side profile of the PIR All items required to create a motion detector To set this up I've use the following code to initialise it. Once the code is uploaded to the Arduino it has to calibrate for 30 seconds. The below video shows that although the code was uploaded correctly there was some issue which happened to be the LED was not lightin...
