Sensor Radar from Nokia

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

The scientists at Nokia Research Center are always brewing up something that let’s us peak behind the curtain of future mobile technologies(sensors etc).
“Mobile Radar” is definitely one we’d like to see in our handset sooner rather than later.

In the video you see researcher Jani Ollikainen use his hand to adjust the music player’s volume, without ever touching the hardware. Even with an object in his way (like your pants pocket or even a wood door), the radar works without a hitch.

The possibilities are endless with this technology. How about a home security system that alerts you if there’s movement in your house? Or how about some cool new gaming?

Nokia Eco Sensor Concept

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

nokiasensor1

the Nokia Research Center  conceived the Nokia Eco Sensor Concept.  Nokia’s visionary design concept is a mobile phone and compatible sensing device that will help you stay connected to your friends and loved ones, as well as to your health and local environment.

The concept consists of   a wearable sensor unit which can sense and analyze your environment(health, and local weather conditions) and a dedicated mobile phone.

The sensor unit will be worn on a wrist or neck strap made from solar cells that provide power to the sensors.

the Nokia Eco Sensor Concept will include a separate, wearable sensing device with detectors that collect environment, health, and/or weather data.

Example:

nokia-sensors-2

You will be able to choose which sensors you would like to have inside the sensing device, thereby customizing the device to your needs and desires.

Both the phone and the sensor unit will be as compact as possible to minimize material use, and those materials used in the design will be renewable and/or reclaimed.
