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),
                    Mimo monitor
                                          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.

                              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.
