Handwriting analysis for Dyslexia Detection using SmartPens / Using Intelligent Augmented Reality Software in the Classroom

Presented by: 
Scott O'Malley, Brett Lawless & Stephen Howell

Brett will demonstrate his classroom Augmented Reality Software which he is developing as part of his dissertation into creative interactive technologies. Using a normal PC, a webcam, a projector and a standard classroom whiteboard, Brett is pushing the boundaries of how intelligent image recognition software can interact with the educational process.

Brett Lawless is a final year Computing student in the Institute of Technology Tallaght.
He has a keen interest in creative interactive technologies and is developing classroom Augmented Reality software for his dissertation.
Scott O'Malley is a final year Computing student in the Institute of Technology Tallaght. He has a keen interest in creative interactive technologies and is developing Smartpen dyslexia detection software for his dissertation. A successful student who has experienced dyslexia himself, Scott hopes that the software for the Smartpen will allow at risk students be diagnosed and helped earlier by using the smartpen detection system.
