The ring symbolizes the pride which engineers have in their profession, while simultaneously reminding them of their humility. The ring serves as a reminder to the engineer and others of the engineer's obligation to live by a high standard of professional conduct. It is not a symbol of qualification as an engineer - this is determined by the provincial and territorial licensing bodies.

ECE496 Design Project:
Virtual Theremin using IEEE1394

ADS IEEE1394 WebCam

The "Theremin" can be simulated using computer vision techniques. By identifying the performer's hands and their location in a real-time video stream, one can estimate what the response of a real Theremin would be, and synthesize the appropriate output.

This project will:

acquire an image stream in real- (or near real-) time,
identify and locate the hands of the performer in the images,
synthesize the estimated output of a Theremin

The underlying platform is LINUX, making use of a Firewire (IEEE1394) camera.
