University of Toronto (Canada) has introduced smart prototype, able to create 3D images to monitor the health of users.

This prototype was named IM Blanky , which contained a submersible sensor system (a total of 104) in the form of a pattern on the fabric surface, which allowed it to send information over the wireless network and create its own 3D model on the computer. .

Just pick up the blanket, and its 3D version on the computer also moves along. When using blankets for patients, physicians can monitor their movements from a distance.

And with the addition of sensors that measure temperature, blood pressure, humidity and heart rate measurements, the blanket can be a powerful test of a patient's condition.

Currently Blanky is still in beta, according to DVICE.
