We are forming a new team at the Nokia Research Center in Palo Alto to define and carry out research, design, and development focused on innovative user interfaces for mobile devices and services to accompany them.

Important! An improved version of the Activity Monitor, renamed to Nokia Step Counter, is available from Nokia Beta Labs.

Overview

Goals

Providing easy access to data and applications on the mobile device via natural language.

Approach

• Collect data about user activities and events that happen to user on the mobile device
• Aggregate collected data and store it in flexible format
• Provide formal query and action interface to the stored data and phone software
• Integrate natural language front ends with the formal query interface

Nokia Computer Vision Library

Introduction

The NokiaCV Library builds on the Symbian OS, extending imaging capabilities and standardizing the OS image internals. The library provides standard image operations, as well as a set of linear algebra operations needed in many advanced imaging applications. This serves as a building block for future advanced libraries. Some of the extensions are likely to be created by our research teams and be provided in future releases, but anyone can extend the library.

Overview

Figure 1: Rummy game based on MoGS.

The MoGS project was set up to investigate the possibility of building a portable server API for multi-player mobile games, able to support the game server logic of many different games. The language chosen was Java, as this is a very convenient language for developing servers. For the networking technology, we chose Bluetooth.

Overview

The Mobile Augmented Reality Applications project explores utilizing camera equipped mobile devices as platforms for sensor-based, video see-through mobile augmented reality. The project also investigates new and exciting applications enabled by this technology, and UI solutions and paradigms motivated by the restrictions of the mobile devices.
