Say Hello to EVE …
Electronic Voice Enabler recognizes spoken commands and responds with
the appropriate actions. HomeSeer Technologies LLC is a leading
provider of home automation software, controllers and related services
designed specifically for custom electronics installers and consumers.
HomeSeer created the first “fully trainable voice recognition” home
automation system. Instructions can be spoken and programmed by
one person, and EVE will still recognize and complete the command when
spoken by another person.
In the classroom, we use EVE to remotely control lights, and perform
tasks on the PC such as open and close computer programs. She can
login online and access the most current weather conditions. She
uses motion sensors to announce visitors coming and going. She
can access online maps and generate directions for specific
destinations. She can even track the space station. She can also
lecture on certain topics, including Java
programming.
