As reported by Engadget, the following three amazing features that may be present in a smartphone in the near future.
Spectrometer is an instrument that is often used for teaching physics, chemistry, and also used for research in biology. Spectrometer is used to analyze a chemical objects.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found a way to embed spectrometer technology into a smartphone. In a smartphone, the spectrometer can give users an easy and accurate way to detect skin condition, track the vital signs of a person or identifying environmental pollutants. It can also give users a way to find out what substances contained in food or on medicines.
Accurate GPS
GPS features may already commonly found in a smartphone, but the GPS technology developed by the University of Texas is claimed to be different. GPS technology makes it possible to identify the position accurately to within centimeters by using the sensor's antenna is located in the smartphone.
This GPS technology will be synchronized with the camera on a smartphone to be able to map the environment in 3-D format, as well as the increasing sophistication of virtual reality technology. Geolocation feature on GPS also make car users will not collide with other vehicles on the road.
Gas Sensors
The latest wireless sensor is developed MIT capable of detecting harmful gases, such as ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, cyclohexanone, and other harmful gases. The gas detection sensor will make the smartphone is able to read and measure chemical explosives or dangerous environmental pollutants. Chemical readings of the smartphone can be combined with geolocation data to track and map out dangerous areas.
