Description

Imagine only needing to hover under a street lamp to get public internet access, or downloading a movie from the lamp on your desk. There's a new technology on the block which could, quite literally as well as metaphorically, 'throw light on' how to meet the ever-increasing demand for high-speed wireless connectivity. Radio waves are replaced by light waves in a new method of data transmission which is being called Li-Fi. Light-emitting diodes can be switched on and off faster than the human eye can detect, causing the light source to appear to be on continuously. The session will mainly consist of the demo of the Light Bulb

Prototype that We have designed that can be used to transfer data at a speed of 2Mbps.

Agenda

The session will mainly focus of connecting things to internet (in this case the light bulb itself ). This technology is currently in research but we have developed a prototype that can transfer data, stream audio and images using light. Moreover there are some sensors connected inside the bulb to detect motion, smoke etc. and let the users know. The session will mainly focus on discussion of the latest technology Light Fidelity and also demonstrating them how it works.

We will be displaying the hardware used in the bulb that we have designed and a small workshop can be done teaching them building their own LiFi enabled bulbs

Participants

The session is basically a presentation cum demo of the prototype we have designed of the Light Fidelity bulb [1]. We are very well capable of handling 300+ participants.

So if there are very few participants we will be working with every individual and also we will be teaching them how to build their own bulbs

For 10-15 there will be sessions and demos to individual

For more than 20 participants we will be form teams at the time of demo and at the time of presentation my facilitator will be helping with the queries

For 50+ participants first there will be a presentation after that there will be demo and hands will be given to interested participants

Outcome

After the presentation the participants will be made aware of this technology and since we are currently making this technology more advanced, building better prototypes so they can also contribute to this project. The will be filling a follow-up form where they can share their emails and we will be updating the advancements in the prototype in the later stages after the Mozfest.

It might be good to have this be an exhibit for the length of all of the festival, not only a workshop.

dimonga commented 8 years ago

Agreed! This bulb can be demonstrated for the length of all of the festival.

Only I require stipend, My co-Facilitator has been selected by the participation team.

Cheers!

We'd like to turn this into exhibit but we can not offer a stipend sorry. Hope this still works for you?

dimonga commented 8 years ago

I am afraid I cannot afford the travel ( I already have valid visa )as I have just graduated (student), but can manage food and accommodation from my savings, I had a talk with Dietrich too regarding this project, please let me know if stipend can be made available as this is a revolutionary exhibit for the future of IoT as this technology has never been open sourced till now

Furthermore, I have another session where I am co Facilitator with Michael Henretty, here is the link if this helps : https://github.com/MozillaFoundation/mozfest-program-2016/issues/305 and also a part of this too https://github.com/MozillaFoundation/mozfest-program-2016/issues/685 I have been working a lot for connected devices, here are the link to my contributions wiki.mozilla.org/User:dimonga

cubicgarden commented 8 years ago

Thanks for the reply, I'll have a word with Dietrich and others...

autonome commented 8 years ago

Sorry Dipesh, like @cubicgarden said above we don't have the stipend available :(

autonome commented 8 years ago

No stipend required now, so we're able accept this. However, it will be a demo/exhibition, not a talk/workshop.
