University of Toronto (Canada) has introduced smart prototype, able to create 3D images to monitor the health of users.
The 3D model on the camera reflects the instant state of the blanket
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.
