Sunny's Personal Website Home > Research Project My Project This section has everything regarding to my honours year project. Please feel free to visit. About the project - For everyone who used infrared before should know that, there is a limitation on this technology. Technically, infrared data communication on mobile device is limited to be used in line-of-sight and point-to-point. Which mean users going to do infrared communication must sit in front and pointing their device to each other without any obstacle. Thus, this project was conducted to design a system that can provide an invisible link between two segregated mobile devices. The aimed usage of this system is as a supporting system for video conferencing facilities. The thesis (PDF/HTML) included in this page provides a comprehensive coverage about this project. Please feel free to read it. If you want to have a quick tour of the project, the presentation slides (Powerpoint) will guide you.
