....Japan's AR'S Corporation shows-off the company's wrist-type wearable miniature sensing module 'Nature Interfacer 3' at Exhibition Micromachine 2004 in Tokyo....The module, equipped with signal processing and bidirectional wireless communication capabilities for Ubiquitous sensor networks, is helpful for daily health control...

Sounds like an idea considering all the shots and beers the Gaspanic people have been hammering down my throat



My mate taking the challenge, I told him we drink in this fashion all the time in Ireland

I think a watch that alarms you when your bank balance goes below a certain level would be more in order



Guinness in the old hub is way too expensive, oh well, I'll have another I guess

The Gaspanic is gonna issue a special edition pervasive-compter, health-control watch with RFIC metering of the beer. We should join the "focus group" hee, hee.


The World of Natureinterface -- Kiyoshi Itao
....The nature interfacer is a device that captures various kinds of information using micro sensors, processes data recognition by watch-size computers, and transmits the information by wireless. The key technology here is the software to automatically decide whether to stay active to sense and transmit the information, or to become dormant to save energy, as well as the relevant hardware (mechatronics) technologies. Wristwatch technology is at the very forefront of such mechatronics. We may apply the technology to environmental conservation by detection of environmental information by simultaneous measurements of the location of animals and the detection of chemical substances in their surrounding environments.

The volume and mass of information machines should essentially be zero. Toward this ultimate target, efforts in electronics, machinery, physics and chemistry have all contributed to the advancement of microsystem technology. These efforts will continue to increase. At the same time, while computer development continues down the traditional path of human-operated machines, we are seeing the development of a so-called 'pervasive computer' world where computers run without human operators. This paper outlines the technology related to these two trends, then introduces a 'nature interfacer' - a new information terminal concept that combines the movement toward smaller machines with the trend toward unmanned operation.

Sounds like an idea Taro!!!

I guess you already know this, but if you stop drinking in Gaspanic then you run the risk of being lumped out! It happened to me around 4pm the same night as the piccies above. I got in a huge arguement with the bouncer, eventually the gaijin manager (I think) came over and bought me a beer!! 'How bad' as we say in Cork.

If you look at the background of the first picture you can see the eponymous message: "Everyone must be drinking to stay inside Gaspanic". Only in Japan...
