VR  Simulator devices  represent  the  behaviour  of physical  or abstract  systems.  VR  Simulation
                  technology is used a lot in training. They are used to train bus drivers and pilots. Surgeons can develop
                  their surgical skills through simulation on digital patients. Architects can create a walk-through model
                  of their projects. VR therapy is used to treat autistic children and phobias.

                         INTERNET OF THINGS

                  Internet of Things (IoT) has become a buzzword nowadays throughout the world. It is a system
                  of connected computing devices, mechanical and digital machines for creating a virtual network
                  where a monitoring center ensures that everything is working smoothly. Each connected device has
                  a unique identifier and can transfer data over the network without any human intervention. The
                  connected devices gather and share data about their usage and their operative environment. The
                  devices can be your smartphones, refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, etc. You must have
                  heard about smart cities. They can be developed with optimized waste management system, traffic
                  system and efficient energy use by IoT.  A lightbulb that can be switched on using a smartphone app,
                  a motion sensor or a smart thermostat in your office or a connected streetlight are examples of IoT
                  devices.

                                                  Neil Gross famously said in 1999 — “In the next century, planet earth
                                                  will  don  an electronic  skin.  It will  use the Internet as a scaffold to
                                                  support and transmit its sensations”
                                                  The concept of IoT has unbelievable potential in many businesses and
                                                  industries. To check on SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), the
                                                  Mimo monitor is a new kind of infant monitor that provides parents
                                                  with real-time information about their baby’s respiration, skin
                                                  temperature, body position and activity level on their smartphones.

                                                          Tech Fact
                      Using your smartphone’s range of sensors (Accelerometer, Gyro, Video, Proximity, Compass,
                     GPS, etc.) and connectivity options, (Cell, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.) you have a well-equipped
                        IoT device in your pocket that can automatically monitor your movements, location and
                                                     workouts throughout the day.
