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.
