My Smart Mate
Smart audio guide
My Travel Mate is a smart audio guide that automatically provides the user information about the surrounding environment. The system, without any user interaction, builds a point of interest database exploiting Wikipedia and Google APIs as source. It leverages a computer vision system, to overcome the likely sensor limitations, and determines if the user is facing a certain landmark. After having automatically obtained information on the detected interest point, the guide presents audio description at the most appropriate moment, using text-to-speech augmenting the experience.

SMARTACCS
Using the smartphone accelerometer to access secure services
2019
funded by: Fondazione CRF
The authentication phase for access to a secure service (home-banking) is based on the paradigm “what you know, what you have, what you are”. The project is part of this paradigm, focusing on the requirement of “what you have”, proposing a solution that exploits the distinctive intrinsic characteristics of the smartphone’s accelerometer sensor, which everyone always carries on, for the specific recognition of the user in transparent mode.
