AI - Augmenting Human Perception

At IBM Research – Ireland our team have built a 3D Computer Vision driven task completion prototype called the “Puzzle Solving Toolkit” which interacts with a visually impaired user to guide them in solving a jigsaw puzzle in a natural and intuitive way. We achieve this by providing a combination of Computer Vision algorithms and cognitive Watson services. Our toolkit is capable of recognising the puzzle pieces via a camera input and compute the best strategy for solving the puzzle. The system interacts with the user by leveraging Watson Speech to Text and Text to Speech services to communicate the necessary instructions about which piece to pick up next and also adopt to user's feedback.
