When we talk about designing for an aging population, the standard approach has been to provide aid in the home– completing tasks, welfare modules, accommodating lack of mobility, which results in a life lived more statically. While these efforts to address ADLs – activities of daily living – are important, they fail to take on the greatest challenge: mobility outside […]

Virtual Reality: Taking 2D Business to The Next Level
Virtual reality has always been a carrot, so to speak, at the end of a stick in the technology industry. No matter how fast they have run or progressed, the carrot continued to sit in front of them each and every time. Yet, despite this being the case, virtual reality has finally found the bearings necessary to become a reality […]

FALCORE New Racing Drone with Wireless Streaming HD Video
Drone racing is one of the fastest growing sports/hobbies in the world. Now, drones come equipped with cameras allowing for First Person Video (FPV) flight, having the pilot strap on goggles and fly the drone from a bird’s eye view. However, most of the links between the cameras and goggles have lower video quality, and lag which can make drones […]
Rewritable Paper
Developing efficient photoreversible color switching systems for constructing rewritable paper is of significant practical interest owing to the potential environmental benefits including forest conservation, pollution reduction, and resource sustainability. Here we report that the color change associated with the redox chemistry of nanoparticles of Prussian blue and its analogues could be integrated with the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles to […]
Facial Recognition for Boarding
Dutch airline KLM has started a pilot project to see if facial recognition software would make boarding any easier and quicker for passengers. The “biometric boarding” technology has been designed so that passengers do not have to show their passport or boarding pass at the gate. The system has been installed at a single gate at the airline’s home airport of Schiphol […]
