INTRODUCTION
 Machine centred.
 We are serving them.
 Difficult to use.
 Right now, Computers have required us to interact with
them on their own terms and speak their language
 Solution is OXYGEN.
 WHAT IS OXYGEN ??
o Bringing abundant computation and communication, as pervasive and free
as air, naturally into people's lives.
o Computation will be
• human-centered.
• freely available everywhere, like batteries and power sockets, or oxygen
in the air we breathe.

• configurable generic devices, either handheld or embedded, will bring

computation to us, irrespective of our location.

o We won't have to type, click, or learn new computer jargon.

o Instead, we'll communicate naturally, using speech and gestures that
describe our intent.
 TECHNOLOGIES
o Oxygen device technologies
o H21- Hand held
o E21- Embedded

o Oxygen network technologies

o N21- Network
o Oxygen software technologies
o Oxygen perceptual technologies
o Vision
o Speech

o Oxygen user technologies

o Knowledge Access
o Automation
o Collaboration
DEVICE TECHNOLOGIES
o E21
o Environmental devices, together called an E21, provide a local-area computational
and communication back-plane for an intelligent space.
o E21s are connected to nearby sensors, actuators, and appliances, suitably
encapsulated in physical objects.
o communicate with each other and with nearby H21s through dynamically
configured networks N21s.
o provide sufficient computational power throughout the environment
o to communicate with people using natural perceptual resources, such as
speech and vision,
o to support Oxygen's user technologies wherever people may be, and
o to monitor and control their environment.
DEVICES USED IN E21
Antenna

display
projector

camera

printer
microphones
NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES
o N21
o They configure and reconfigure themselves automatically
o Networks route heterogeneous traffic efficiently,
o N21s, connect dynamically changing configurations of self-identifying
mobile and stationary devices.
o integrate different wireless, terrestrial, and satellite networks into one
seamless internet
o Through algorithms, protocols, and middleware, they deal with

o Configuration of Collaborative regions

o Resource and location discovery
o Security
o Adaptation
H21 HAND-HELD DEVICES
SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES
 Building applications using composable, distributed
components,
 Customizing, adapting, and altering component behavior,
 Replacing components, at different degrees of granularity,
in a consistent fashion,
 Person-centric, rather than device-centric, security, and
 Disconnected operation and nomadic code.
HOW DOES OXYGEN WORK
PERCEPTUAL TECHNOLOGIES
o SPEECH
o Humans communicate with computers, in much the same way
they communicate with one another, using speech.
o without having to remember a URL, search through the Web for a
pointer to a document, or use keyword search engines.
o provides a number of limited-domain interfaces, as well as
mechanisms for users to navigate effortlessly from one domain to
another
o The spoken language subsystem is an integral part of Oxygen's
infrastructure, not just a set of applications or external interfaces
o Four components
o Speech recognition
o Language understanding
o Language generation
o Speech synthesis
CONVERSATIONAL SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
APPLICATIONS
 Business applications
 Medical field
 Education
CHALLENGES

 Pervasive
 Embedded
 Nomadic
 Adaptable
 powerful, yet efficient
 Intentional
 Eternal
CONCLUSION

 Widespread use of Oxygen and its advanced technologies

will yield a profound leap in human productivity — one
even more revolutionary than the move from mainframes to
desktops.
 By enabling people to use spoken and visual cues to
automate routine tasks, access knowledge, and collaborate
with others anywhere, anytime, Oxygen stands to
significantly amplify human capabilities throughout the
world.
