At Dinacon: I will be bringing some biosensing hardware to record data from Dinasaurs to experiment with the different kinds of vital signs that can be derived from PPG sensors. I am interested in Environmental sensing, and have an idea for a ‘sensor in a bottle’ project for measuring ocean information. I will also be helping to document other Dinasaurs projects.
