PETALS sau Pattern Enhancement Tool for Assisting Landmine Sensing este o tehnologie care permite posesorilor de smartphone-uri sa isi foloseasca dispozitivele impreuna cu detectoare de metale, sau chiar detectoare de mine. O companie testeaza in momentul de fata sistemul im Cambodgia, iar in clipul video de mai sus aveti o demonstratie a modului in care functioneaza el. Practic detectorul de metale detecteaza ce se afla sub pamant, iar iPhone-ul prin intermediul unei aplicatii preia sunetele emise de detector si genereaza o harta virtuala.
In deminer training, teaching aids are limited to laser pointers, textbook diagrams and physical markers. PETALS Remote revolutionizes training by providing visual feedback about trainee detector trajectories. This feedback helps instructors to more quickly diagnose and correct mistakes, and to monitor multiple trainees at once. PETALS Remote is a tablet-sized device that connects wirelessly to PETALS Live. Instructors view trainees’ activity on the tablet, while trainees practice with sensors that are augmented with PETALS Live.
Teoretic orice fel de smartphone-uri pot fi utilizate pentru acest gen de dispozitive si modul de utilizare este interesant, mai ales ca ofera o functionalitate care era in alte conditii inaccesibila.
