Abstract:
Through this paper, the possible mechanism of a device that recognizes other
devices in a meeting setting is discussed. The purpose of such a device is to simplify
the physical human interactions during certain meetings and to help people network
with one another. This functionality is achieved through the use of an infrared laser
properly power rated for everyday use, internet connectivity of the sensor via
microcontroller boards like Arduino Nano 33 IoT or ESP32, and the cloud integration
general mechanism. The paper will mainly focus on the hardware of the whole system
and the integration capability to the cloud, rather than the cloud structure itself.
Reviews of the Infrared and other optical communication methods, and the specific
functionality we are trying to achieve show that it should be possible for this device to
be functionally implemented in meeting settings of medium to low densities. So in a
conclusion, the implementation of a device with the above-mentioned functionality
and mechanism is possible, but the accuracy would have to suffer due to user
dependency.
