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.
