Glasses use sonar, AI to interpret upper body poses in 3D

Throughout history, sonar's distinctive "ping" has been used to map oceans, spot enemy submarines, and find sunken ships. Today, a variation of that technology—in miniature form, developed by Cornell researchers—is proving ...

RFID tag arrays track body movements, shape changes

Carnegie Mellon University researchers have found ways to track body movements and detect shape changes using arrays of RFID tags. RFID-embedded clothing thus could be used to control avatars in video games—much like in ...

Lung-heart super sensor on a chip tinier than a ladybug

During a stroll, a woman's breathing becomes a slight bit shallower, and a monitor in her clothing alerts her to get a telemedicine check-up. A new study details how a sensor chip smaller than a ladybug records multiple lung ...
