- wtfdaemon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pretty sweet stuff.... I'd like to see some more detail on how they're implementing the system from a technology perspective. I'd bet there's some interesting melding of tech/software/sensor input behind the scenes there.
I'd think getting this system to be highly reliable under those conditions is a real challenge. More details on the system, anyone? - robhustle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I found this... lots more info than the wired article:
