Devices and Everyday Objects Could Communicate to Each Other Without Power Source.

By setting up smart sensor attached in any building with distant 6.5 miles away from TV or cellular transmission, two devices could send messages to each other. The researchers named the technique as ‘ambient backscatter’ which takes advantage of TV signal surrounding us instead of using battery. Everyday object’s like keys were left could send signal to users phone about where they are.  Smart sensor could be placed in a bridge to monitor and alert about the health of bridge all the time. In the future, a University Washington researcher, Shyam Gollakota said the team may develop smart sensor technique applicable for wearable computing, smart homes and self-sustaining sensor networks. (TI02/PH/04/Sep/15)
