Pervasive Computing
There have been two articles on the topic recently, both tackling the issue of pervasive computing; this is the science of embedding computers and sensors into everyday environments. With reasonable speed processors becoming cheaper and cheaper, the day where every appliance has computers and sensors embedded is drawing closer. The example discussed in the two articles below is an Intelligent Conference Room. It has about 32 microphones, and 4 cameras -- including a stereoscopic one. With the pervasive computing scheme being researched, this would allow the system to focus on the speaker -- which is important for monitoring conferences, but a difficult problem to solve with classical approaches.
