"Using the researchers' technique cuts that to 0.4 millijoules - a 99.96 percent cut. The team believes that the dramatic improvement in efficiency will lead to new services based on continuous GPS logging; for example, building a database of noise pollution levels in a given city, or getting tailored directions or search results based on the routes you most commonly drive."

Use for GP preso

gps bracelets let doctors and patients communicate, doctors track patients when they signal they need help/immediate care daily 8.4

Looks like a house arrest bracelet. Is pointless considering mobile GPS tech, but uhhh this could be useful in the future when combined with other types of technology, especially for disabled or blind people.

Cara -- face detection service -- i think GP did something with this before

Hmmm, if we upload our minds into machines I guess we no longer need toilet paper. I'm feeling like this is trouble for GP.

 Mapkin is a new platform that lets friends send each other personalized directions, with custom instructions and voice recordings. Once users have created a route from one point to another, they can begin to add elements along the way. Choosing from a list of popular stop-off points or creating their own, they can include points of interest such as restaurants, gas stations and parking spaces. Mapkin enables users to also add their own comments along the way - directing friends to avoid a particular junction or simply making instructions clearer or more fun. To replace the limited selection available with standard GPS navigation devices, directions can be complemented with users' own voice recordings. Maps can then be saved and shared with friends over email, SMS or social networks.

Kopin Golden-i Wireless Headset, a head-mounted computer that enables firefighters to analyze a situation and make smarter decisions. Much like Google's forthcoming Project Glass, the Golden-i headsets house a camera, microdisplay, GPS locator, speech recognition and gesture control. This allows users to benefit from computer technology while keeping their hands and concentration free on the task at hand, making it especially suitable to servicemen. Using data such as maps, heat profiles, oxygen levels and heart rate - as well as audio and visual connectivity to colleagues and staff - firefighters can gain a better overall view of the situation, helping to save lives as well as protect themselves.

After all three finish shooting and uploading their footage to Vyclone's servers, the app algorithmically cuts and edits a video using the four (or fewer) different video streams, creating one supercut out of all the footage. The app figures out who was shooting at that moment using GPS location data, and automatically includes those streams of footage into the cut.
