State Department Says iPhones Can Detect Illegal Weapons Testing
Nextgov: The State Department wants to use the Internet of Things, the network of connected sensors and devices, for arms control, a senior adviser said during a conference Tuesday.
Brian Nordmann, senior adviser for arms control, verification and compliance at the State Department, told a small audience he's working with researchers at the University of Hawaii, who are examining how the iPhone 5 can be used to detect infrasonic noise, potentially signalling nuclear tests underground. The iPhone 5's accelerometers and microphones are sensitive enough to detect earthquakes and explosions, Nordmann said.
