This teachology is good for us to know, so I like to show some information about it. Even though people can walk on the street while it rains by using umbrella, a lot of people do not want to go outside if there is rainy. However, some Japanese create high-tech umbrella for people to enjoy their walking on the street.
This is called “Internet umbrella” or Pileus which consists of a camera, a motion sensor, GPS, and a digital compass. People can take a photo by using a camera on the handle of the umbrella and share it on the Internet, and they can also see their way around the place by 3D maps on Google Earth. Moreover, they can find the way or direction to their destination by GPS and the digital compass. Therefore, people can enjoy their walking with high technology by controlling the grip of the umbrella. This invention is created by two of the Japanese graduate students. They won the Innovation Prize at Laval Virtual 2007 in Europe, and it is also presented in many developed countries.
In my opinion, this invention is very creative because they adapted a simple umbrella into a high-tech umbrella with many amazing functions. In addition, people will be able to go out while it is raining and enjoy the functions of the umbrella at the same time.
