SSW SophieHub

An AI that greets your clients and employees

SSW SophieHub is a smart environment system that shows information based on the person it detects, so clients and employees have a better stay at your office. It covers upcoming meetings, the latest business activity, and useful statistics. Sophie can also help visitors find their way to the person they're meeting, and show everyday information like the weather forecast, recent social activity, and public holidays.

Intel® RealSense™ technology

From hand-held devices to snap-on cameras on PCs, Intel® RealSense™ technology simplifies 3D scanning and helps capture 3D models.

Microsoft Cognitive Services

Microsoft Cognitive Services is a set of APIs used by Sophie. The Face API lets Sophie identify a person from an image, and show them their own information once she has.

Microsoft Azure Service Bus

Azure Service Bus makes Sophie highly scalable and extendable - many different modules talk to each other to enrich what the identified person sees.
