Major Projects

ALICE

“Extending HCI to Cultural Computing” - Internship Project at TU/e, Eindhoven

The project was to design a dialogue structure for an Artificial Intelligent system. I worked on a small part of intelligent conversation with a virtual agent in a big research project intending to affect the unconscious of the people of western culture through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The platform was the popular story of “ Alice 's Adventures in Wonderland”.

   
Interactive Systems

“Developing Intelligent Voice Based Devices” - B.Des. degree project

The project aim is to develop a device to enable a user (human) to talk interactively with it. The project requires developing an intelligent Human-Machine conversation system that can process the natural language of the user and produce an intelligent response in form of speech. The work opens a new media of Human-Machine interaction.

   
System Design

“On-line Information System” - for Placement Cell at IIT Guwahati

The aim was to propose and design an online information system to replace the old static system of notice boards, to ensure effective online communication and a common platform for availing necessary information.
System was optimized using Object Oriented Modeling techniques like Use Case Diagrams, Interaction Diagrams, Activity Flowcharts, and Class Diagrams to develop the working prototype (GUI) for web-platform.

   
GUI
