• X is the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings and other items which are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. X allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit.

What is X ?



• Internet of Things (IoT)



• An app, called X, is available from the Google Play Store and runs in the background with little power, so that a phone’s onboard accelerometers (designed to sense the orientation of the phone for display or gaming ) can record local shaking any time of the day or night. The app collects information from the accelerometers, analyzes it and, if it fits the vibrational profile of a quake, relays it and the phone’s GPS coordinates to the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory for analysis. UC Berkeley seismologists plan to use the data to warn people miles from ground zero that shaking is rumbling their way and provide tens of seconds of warning so people can duck, cover and hold on when the shaking arrives.
