Nanode: A platform interfacing XCo's communication and tracking with nano-media technology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

XCo's interests are in product authentication and information for anti-counterfeiting and marketing purposes. Development of a platform solution that allows on using Nano-Media technology as developed by PI and XCO's system that provides communication and tracking of information is proposed. The Nano-Media's optical images and stored data need to be connected to XCo's wireless reader for authentication and tracking. In order to provide a robust platform the following challenges will dictate the research innovation program: (1) The mobile cameras ability to read and capture Nano-Media information: alignment and other ease of use issues; amount of information that can be easily read; minimal resolution required; smartphone vs cellphone cameras implementations. (2) Recognizing overt features: minimize training required to recognize a counterfeit. (3) Visuals: range of artistic/overt features that can be done (ex. images, logos, 2D, 3D, branding); augmented visualizations on devices (smartphone, tablet, displays) using Augmented Reality. (4) Manufacturing: The initial goal is to fabricate a set of useful samples using new specific nanofabrication processes for XCo's requirements such as updated data and personalization of information included into the images or stored data.
