• What is it for?
ü This garment provides information to team leader and
coordination center about.
o The health status of firefighters
o position of firefighters
• History?
ü The garment was developed as part of the European Space
agency telecom programme
33. UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING
• What is ubiquitous computing?
ü 3rd wave of computing

Kinect Hack: Minority
Report(2002) User
Interface Duplicated!
Kinect Hand Detection uses the kinect sensor from microsoft, and the recently
released libfreenect driver for interfacing with kinect in linux. The graphical interface
and the hand detection software were written at MIT to interface with the open
source robotics package developed by wilow garage.(wilowgarage.com)
