Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - ( BUSINESS WIRE ) - The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research pillar of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), announced today that its Quantum Research Center (QRC) has developed the first simulation version of 'Qibo', a versatile open- Source-Quantum computer programming framework in collaboration with researchers from around the world. The development follows a series of quick announcements at TII since the first ATRC board meeting in August 2020. TII strives to innovate for a better world. Developing an open source programming framework will have compelling benefits for the global research community. Qibo supports quantum algorithms on a variety of computer systems, including support for hardware accelerators such as graphics processors (GPUs) and multiple quantum devices. This versatility makes Qibo easy to use for quantum programming and speeds research and applications. Qibo was

Open-source, Arduino-based wearable biometric sensor EmotiBit meets Kickstarter goal

Portable sensor module EmotiBit A new biometric, wearable sensor module based on Arduino is now available at Kickstarter. The open source device called EmotiBit can capture emotional, physiological and movement data via more than 16 biometric signals. “Wear it in any orientation, anywhere on your body, and start measuring biometric signals! Thanks to the integrated slots, you can easily carry EmotiBit however you want, ”says the Kickstarter website. Since the data is 100 percent owned by the user, it can be recorded directly on the built-in SD card and viewed via a cross-platform visualizer, available for Mac, PC and Linux, based on the OpenFrameworks toolkit for creative coding . The visualizer also enables data streaming and, as open source, enables further adaptation of the platform. "EmotiBit is equipped with sensors in a portable form factor and thanks to its open source technology is 100 percent customizable and hackable," the company said.
