Ultimately could be a very big thing. Opens video sensor streaming, and IOT very broadly. Tie it to video pattern recognition advances. It further could also have many security implications.
Researchers’ low-power video streaming breakthrough could boost the IoT By Maria Deutscher
University of Washington researchers have developed a method of transmitting video using up to 10,000 times less power than existing techniques that could enable the development of much more capable connected devices.
To demonstrate the breakthrough, the team built a prototype implementation (pictured) that was announced on Wednesday. They also shared details about the system’s power saving approach, which is based on a communications method known as backscattering.
Named after the physical phenomenon it’s designed to harness, backscattering involves using transmissions from an external source to send data. One or more antenna on a backscatter device receive the radio waves and reflect them, modifying them in the process to send different information. The fact that the system doesn’t have to generate the signal by itself drastically reduces power requirements. ... "
