Virtual Assistant
Voice-command interface
Based on my work on the Automated Disability Support System, I am developing the virtual assistant as a voice-controlled system to aid people with everyday tasks in the home, office and even when traveling. The virtual assistant uses a vocabulary database to allow users to speak naturally when issuing commands and queries, and receive an appropriate response. The aim of the virtual assistant is to allow users to control and manage everything from phone calls to lighting using a headset, and to allow them to interface with the system in a way which does not require memorisation of commands or phrases.

Automated Disability Support System
Windows based simulator of a smart home.
The ADSS was developed to simulate the functionality of a voice-controlled smart home, aimed specifically at visually impaired users. The software would theoretically integrate with the user’s home appliances enabling a greater control over the appliances.
