Comments on The Robotic Blanket Project And The Hunting Robe
The robotic blanket interacts with users; the hunting robe traps them. (Read
the complete story)
| "Doesn't look like it's working very well, by review of the video. Doubt this one will make it to commercial use." ( 8/25/2005 4:08:07 AM) |
| "Your freakin me out now....." (JiMartin 8/26/2005 10:44:06 PM) |
| "Dude, it's a prototype. Not sure why we need a robotic blanket though." (Chris 9/15/2005 2:29:12 PM) |
| "Yes, it's just a prototype. On the other hand, in the early 1900's people started making bulky and uncomfortable prototype bed coverings that were heated with electricity. This odd invention became popular in tuberculosis sanitariums because it was believed that the best treatment for TB was lots of cool, fresh air. Patients were made to sleep outside (there being no air conditioning at that time). The first thermostat-controlled 'heated quilt' was created in 1936; by the 1960's, 'electric blankets' were widely available." (Bill 9/16/2005 1:05:45 AM) |
