<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Yes, as I recall, I had predicted that the solution would be portable, compact, real-time fatigue monitor, and then zugmann said:</span></p> <div> <ul> <li><span style="color:#993300;font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">zugmann</span></li> </ul> </div> <div> <p><span style="color:#993300;font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"><i>Serious</i>? By proposing some magical bullet? And now you are proposing this bullet will be ready in a year?</span></p> <p><span style="color:#993300;font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Give me a break, Bucyrus. We're discussing actual proposals (And their downfalls) and all you can do is play make-believe with some magical invention.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#993300;font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Still, me and the rest of the operating guys will await eagerly for this magical bullet. Let's all come back to this thread in one year. How about it?</span></p> </div> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">So in honor of zugmann, I dubbed the device the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">MAGIC BULLET</span>. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">So here you go. Here is the SmartCap, which seems to exactly correspond to my predicted MAGIC BULLET. It looks like it is way ahead of my one-year prediction. In the vehicle application, some of the components appear to be built into the vehicle, but I gather that the components could be carried by the wearer for non-vehicle applications such as for switchmen. Note the benefit of not requiring any scalp preparation. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.smartcap.com.au/index.html">http://www.smartcap.com.au/index.html</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Quote from the link:</span></p> <p><span style="color:#3366ff;font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:medium;">“The SmartCap, a baseball cap containing sophisticated sensors concealed in the cap lining, uses an operator’s brain wave (EEG) information to calculate a measure of drowsiness, which is wirelessly communicated to a display in-cab, or to any Bluetooth enabled device. This has been made possible by the development of small sensors capable of reading EEG through hair, without the need for any scalp preparation. With the look and feel of a typical baseball cap, the SmartCap overcomes the operator acceptance problems experienced by sites that in the past have implemented camera or response based technologies.”</span></p> <p><span style="color:#3366ff;font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:medium;">“The SmartCap processes brain wave information and determines the wearer’s level of alertness every second.”</span></p>
