The VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has created what is essentially, a scalable, modular road ice sensor network, designed to work with all types of heavy goods vehicle, and to communicate with any other technology also in place on the vehicle's data bus - drawing GPS data from other devices and interfacing with satelite navigation systems and in-cabin displays to warn the driver of approaching ice. Resource Type not Available The sense of smell is a strange one, and its ties with memory even stranger. How does a single sniff of a scent alert even the tiniest animal immediately to which predator is nearby? How does a human know with a single whiff of an ardour, precisely what to expect when they walk into the next room? The project, a French initiative, run by the French centre for construction research (CSTB), is designed as telehealth for the elderly. Homes are tripped out with sensors and computer systems that monitor the health and behaviour of the individual, and alert a central depot should anything outside of normal routine occur. One of the greatest problems with tomography based medical scanners, is what happens when the patient moves (breathes, or pumps blood).

BodyViz is a window-on-world VR that combines the X-box and DICOM medical data for a low end VR solution to 3D medical results. Medical HUD systems, that overlay different spectral frequencies on top of normal vision. Came out of a novel, does not exist yet today. Doable? Absolutely.
