Stretch Sensing Tech | CoolBusinessIdeas.com

Getting real, physical movements accurately depicted in the digital world remains a challenge for programmers and engineers, but a newly developed glove promises to advance the tech significantly. It’s able to capture hand movements with much more detail and nuance than most existing solutions.

To achieve this, the researchers behind the glove created a silicone compound holding 44 embedded stretch sensors, combining it with a soft fabric layer. The input device requires very little training, and uses a special constructed set of algorithms to process the sensor data coming through from the gloved hand.

Bitcoin miners busted? Police confuse bitcoin power usage for pot farm – Computerworld Blogs

Bitcoin, one of the world’s newest currencies, is an open source, peer-to-peer currency that does not exist in physical form. It’s owned and traded by means of an anonymous P2P network, without any third-party intermediary like a payment processor, without any government issuing or tracking the virtual currency.
