The New York Times had an article on HP labs activities to gather information on a massive scale . It's a research and development program to show an example of building a planet-wide sensing network, using billions of "tiny, cheap, tough and exquisitely sensitive detectors." This kind...
There is a good interview of Tim O'Reilly that validated many of the posts we've made in this blog over the last 5 years. He also published a white paper that goes into more details . The way business value is generated in the future will be changing, as we have the intersection of sensors and...
A week or so back I did a blog entry on augmented reality possibilities , and in this month's IEEE Spectrum there is an article on the placing displays right on the eye . This is done by having the display and possibly sensors integrated with a contact lens . Although Terminator view displays can't...
The BBC has an article: Mobile phones get cyborg vision that got me thinking about the number of times I've seen examples of augmented reality demonstration projects recently. This article states: "Via the video function of a mobile phone's camera it is now possible to combine a regular...
An IEEE Spectrum article describes a new optical fiber technology that can be used to gather an image. "Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a polymer fiber that can detect the angle, intensity, phase, and wavelength of light hitting it, information that can be used...
In a recent IEEE spectrum article a technique was described that allows plants to call the farmer to say they need water. A company came up with the product that measures the moisture level of the plant and then water the plant accordingly. It consists of several sensors wired to a control point that...
One of the technologies mentioned in this blog many times is the role of sensors and edge computing in the next wave of computer business value generation. A big issue is how to ensure that these sensors will have the power to gather their information and send it on. In the current issue of Technology...
I was looking at the Dallas Morning News this morning a saw a story Sensors may Revolutionize Everyday Life . I've mentioned before about how sensors will start to be in just about everything. I just found it interesting to be in a main stream media paper on a Sunday morning. I was talking with some...
