Demo: Talk2Me - A Framework for D2D Augmented Reality Social Network

Abstract

In this demo, we present Talk2Me, an augmented re- ality social network framework that enables users to disseminate information in a distributed way and view others' information instantly. Talk2Me advertises users’ messages, together with theirface-signatures, to every nearby device in a Device-to–Device fashion. When a user looks at nearby persons through her camera-enabled wearable devices (e.g., Google Glass), the frame- work automatically extracts the face-signature of the person of interest, compares it with the previously captured signatures, and presents the information shared by this person to the user. We design a lightweight and yet accurate face recognition algorithm, together with an efficient distributed dissemination protocol. We integrate their implementations in an Android prototype.
