The last Pop Sci invention award that we’ll share comes from MingZher Poh at MIT’s MediaLab.  Using a webcam, he’s produced a mirror that can give you information about your vital signs.
The webcam reads reflection of light from your skin, which changes based on the amount of blood being pumped through it.  That information can be used to monitor things like heart rate.
Lots of “future tech” concept videos contain this idea of a mirror that tells you your vitals.  Well, here it is.  It’s real.

Video!

To be able to see the future emerge we have to throw a wide net to catch the weak signals. In this tumble I collect things I find valuable for my work as scenario planner, strategist and futurist - for more info about me go to www.futuramb.se.
