An EEG is much cheaper and more portable than other brain-imaging technologies (such as magneto-encephalograph and functional magnetic resonance imaging), but it is still not cheap or robust enough to be sold as a gaming device or a computer peripheral.
Technology such as digital cameras and mobile technologies such as portable smartphones and tablet computers, have given the traditonal field notebook a new look.
For example, the use of technologies such as portable PDAs in epidemiological surveillance is an interesting opportunity worthy of study as demonstrated by Yu P and al [ 5].
Investors would shy away from "green" solution to instead focus on so-called "smart" products and technologies, such as digital assistants - ranging from portable screens to vehicles or robots - that help individuals in their everyday lives.
Portable and mobile AR systems including: radio-frequency based tracking technologies such as GPS, WLAN, indoor GPS; infrastructure-dependent technologies such as fiducial markers; infrastructure-independent tracking technologies such as gyroscopes; and image-based tracking techniques have been studied in many research projects (Bae et al. 2013).
It leverages widely used technologies such as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and RRDtool for data storage and visualization.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), a great success in the portable electronics sector, are believed also the most promising power sources for emerging technologies such as EVs and smart grids.
The first is the belief that future achievements will focus on the hybridization of dissimilar technologies, such as the integration of solar cells and fuel cells in portable electronic devices.
On the other hand, given that in recent years the thin film inorganic and emerging solar technologies have lost ground and feasibility, more focus can be placed on unique characteristics of these technologies, such as light weight, flexibility, and transparency, to develop SCs to be used in wearables, portable devices, solar windows, curtains, walls, etc.
Portable sensors may not be limited to the use of IMUs but may also make use of other technologies such as smartphones with incorporated cameras and accelerometers.
