Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced Edison, “a full Pentium-class PC” that looks like an SD card. Edison is powered by a dual-core Quark SOC, runs Linux, and has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
Edison’s potential was demonstrated in a “Nursery 2.0.”concept.
“In the concept, a baby was wearing a Mimo onesie outfitted with sensors tracking things like temperature, and Edison was used display that information on, of all things, a coffee mug. When the baby was comfortable, blinking lights on the mug show a happy green smiling face, but when something is wrong that face turns red. A much more useful application, however, involved using Edison to switch on a bottle warmer when your baby starts to stir, that way it’s ready come feeding time.”
