WD Align software aligns partitions on the Advanced Format drive to ensure it provides full performance for certain configurations.
Cool idea! You could save megatonnes of CO2 with this.
Suggestions:
1. Allow configuration of "absent time" before darkening screen
2. Provide link to OS Power settings
3. Allow configuring (auto/manual) of Hz of sound, from 16khz to system max
- to avoid any interference from other noise sources
- for kid/pet preference (BTW, my dog didn't notice - standard poodle)
4. Provide totals by day/week/... of different activity states.
5. Show timeline along display box
5. Allow stretching of display box and scaling of time line
Ideasfor further investigation:
a. use stereo speakers to determine how centred the echos are. Consider "absent from
computer" (vs absent from room) if not both centred and close. You could allow a
configuration setting for this too - "how centred / how close", e.g., a slider on the
display screen, to compare with the graphs.
b. Use different frequencies within speaker/microphone ranges to "fingerprint"a room
c. Use "fingerprinting" to come to conclusions about what kind of room, e.g., bath stall,
outdoors, small, large, busy, empty, dimensions- what can you discover
d. Use 2-speaker sonar to create a crude touch screen. (No 3d mouse since you need a
plane to localise a point in 3D with only 2 speakers.) Could calibrate like on an old
palm - push here, showing a X in various places.
You must have hit the beta-tester jackpot with a Slashdot reference!
