Ambient Health Monitoring and More
One problem with aging is that it tends to be gradual. To date, the slow decay brought by time has been difficult to measure on a day-to-day basis. The approach that Somalytics is taking with its prototype mat may change the immeasurable part of the decline. Using their carbon-nanotube capacitive technology, the scientists, and engineers…

A New Way to Sense the World – A ViodiTV Conversation with Barbara Barclay
As the real-world shifts to the metaverse, inexpensive and ubiquitous sensing will become a must-have. Somalytics and its paper carbon nanotube capacitive sensor may be a solution that serves both the real and virtual worlds. Mixing carbon nanotubes with cellulose together with a fracturing process, Somalytics has figured out how to make 1-millimeter thick paper…

The Invisible, Magic Hand
Using a single low-cost camera to detect 26 skeletal points and mimic hand gestures in real-time is the trick that uSens has seemingly mastered. Using a relatively lightweight, deep learning algorithm, their software runs on android smartphones and only requires a single core of processing power and no external calls to a cloud compute engine.…

Hands Free Smart Phone Gaming #CES2016
A depth finding device, like the Microsoft Kinect, that allows one to interact with content without need for a controller is the promise of the hardware and software solution from VicoVR. What is different about this is that it allows one to control content on an inexpensive android device without touching the device. This allows…
