We like science and technology so when Mashable posted a report that researchers at the University of Texas, Austin had created a light scattering metascreen–we had to check it out. Light scattering metascreen? See also ‘invisibility cloak.’ Well, s …
We took a fully functional touchscreen PC, submerged it in a puddle of muck, then hosed it off, all while plugged in and running.. because we could. This computer (Glacier – S9000) is made for food processing operations, outdoor kiosks, farms, or an …
Aerial Work Platforms are great places for using rugged computing power. Wireless data collection when you are elevated above the ground-whether on a fixed, tablet, or hand-held computer–just makes sense. But before you ever set foot on one you’ll w …
The Journal of Commerce reports that Construction and excavation operations are taking advantage of mobile technology and 3D laser scanners to do what used to take hours or days. “The 3D laser scanner creates thousands of point clouds to take measureme …
