The current issue of the IEEE MCE is dedicated to smart villages. MCE has covered smart cities theme in multiple past issues, including July 2016, March 2018. MCE also covered various technologies applicable smart cities. While covering smart cities, an obvious question arises, what about smart villages? This gives rise to various related questions including: Are smart cities and smart villages same

Revolutionary innovations (also called discontinuous innovations), which are often disruptive and new is synonymous with risk-taking and organizations that create revolutionary products or technologies take on the greatest risk because they create new markets. The old common sense leads the continuous advancement of performance. However, after innovation, new common sense leads the discontinuous extraordinary

CES is the world's largest consumer electronics exhibition. Throughout its decades-long history, various iconic technologies have made their debut at CES. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, CES 2021 will be a virtual event. While there will be no in-person gathering in Las Vegas, NV, USA (the show's typical venue), CES will continue to be the center of the world's technological innovation that sets

Improper use of high beams can cause glare interference to oncoming drivers or pedestrian. In this article, an adaptive high-beam controlling system is designed to avoid glare interference. The adaptive high beams are illuminated by group light-emitting diode (LED) particles as the light source. The luminous intensity distribution of single LED particle is determined along with the lighting zones of

People say data is the new dominant raw material replacing oil, to emphasize its economic significance. Many companies have unused data, and collectively, there is a massive amount of unutilized or residual data, which could enable new business models. On the other hand, not all businesses have a complete set of data to implement their ultimate goals. Therefore, the data's values could increase if

The term "collaborative edge computing" is new. Edge computing is a crucial technology for the deployment of smart villages. Due to edge devices’ resource constraint features, collaborative computing is a key challenge to borrow computational resources to meet demands of smart villages. This article gives first-hand experiences on collaborative edge computing and its use for smart villages.

Your computers and devices all interconnect locally. In a sense, the larger Internet is just one more connected device. You are free to innovate and experiment without asking a provider's permission. In my first column, I wrote about refactoring consumer electronics [See B. Frankston, "Refactoring consumer electronics [soapbox]", ibid., vol. 2, no. 1, pp. 26–31, Jan. 2013]. We can focus on what we

Smart grid, as a concept tries to revolutionize the conventional grid structure by incorporating Information Technology components and making the communication bidirectional. However, there is a greater thrust to make the distribution and utility side of the grid smarter owing to a greater number of end-users and increase in energy consumption. It needs to be prioritized as the global energy consumption

The 2020 Brain Data Bank (BDB) Challenge reached its closure on December 5, 2020, in a virtual conference format, due to COVID-19. Having 88 registrants (roughly 20% medical, non-IEEE, and the rest primarily IEEE engineering professionals) from 10 countries, the BDBC-Finale program consisted of presentations from 5 selected teams resulting from 3 preliminary runs earlier in 2020. The program was further

This tutorial explains the evolving approaches on deep learning (DL) modeling and their dependence on statistically comprehensive datasets as input in various brain scan neuroimages. Powerful visual modalities, e.g., magnetic resonance images and positron emission tomography, can show neural changes during Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development. Computer vision’s recent success has lent impetus to numerous

This article presents a novel three-dimensional printed robot for crowd surveillance called VISU. VISU captures surroundings using inbuilt camera and transmits them to the cloud. VISU's cloud architecture is connected to the criminal and suspect database provided by police authority. The captured crowd data is compared with criminal or suspect images and the authorities are alerted in case of any match

Gaming is now very much a consumer activity with multiple business models and large revenue streams. If we view it as some kind of educational activity, we can rightly ask, "What does it teach us about consumer electronics?" Consumer Engineers are responding to the requirements of businesses and the requirements of Consumers. Certainly, they still need to show that their technology will be acceptable

Almost all the current generation consumer electronics (CE) and consumer technology (CT) have the feature of Internet connectivity. This connectivity comes with the major challenge of cybersecurity. Cybersecurity threats in for CE devices and systems have multiple forms including software, hardware, and communications networks. The cybersecurity attacks can come from remote locations through Internet

As smart home systems increasingly utilize AI technology, a user-friendly and intelligent smart home system becomes increasingly popular. However, a home generally consists of various devices with different capabilities from different vendors. Hence, it is difficult to apply high-performance security solutions to such a smart home system. Recently, although a blockchain is mentioned as an alternative

At its inception in the 19th-century, the talking telegraph (AKA the telephone) was an amazing feat of engineering using analog technology. One could speak into a micro-phone in one city and be heard in another city. Accom-plishing this required a very large investment in technol-ogy. The customers were consumers of the service.

Nowadays, information technologies are increasingly accessible to the majority of the population. This has made it possible to promote the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the industries with the greatest challenges is the health sector, although technology has arrived and has been implemented in the health sector, in developing countries, there is a very low budget that makes the adoption

COVID-19 has been announced as a Global Communal Health Extremity by WHO on January 2020. Meaningful preventive solutions have been taken with smartphone selfie/geofencing apps toward managing mandatory home quarantine and physical distancing. In the post-COVID world, fast screening and strict quarantine can play a crucial role in bringing back normality. Quarantine being offered at home can be a comfortable

Coronavirus or COVID-19, which has been declared pandemic by the World Health Organization, has incurred huge losses to the lives of people throughout the world. Although the scientists, researchers, and doctors are working round the clock to develop a vaccine for COVID-19, it may take a year or two to make a safe and effective vaccine available for the world. In current circumstances, a solution must

Assistive technologies (ATs) are designed to enhance the quality of life of people living with disabilities. The integration of these technologies with the home or work environment are often combined with a variety of processes, services, and other devices. ATs have also been imperative in addressing some of the physical limitations that are caused by motor neuron disease (MND). This disease, which

COVID-19 is a major global public health challenge and difficult to control in a short time completely. To prevent the COVID-19 epidemic from continuing to worsen, global scientific research institutions have actively carried out studies on COVID-19, thereby effectively improving the prevention, monitoring, tracking, control, and treatment of the epidemic. However, the COVID-19 electronic medical records

With the advent of the recent coronavirus pandemic, it has become crucial to maintain social distancing within public spaces. To achieve this, it is important to keep a count of the number of people entering the premises and maintain low occupancy within it.

Video games were originally distributed through fixed-function appliances or gaming consoles. As technology improved, various forms of physical media were used to distribute games, such as cartridges and discs. While this provided versatility, it also carried physical design considerations and complexities surrounding backward-compatibility. Today, digital distribution is growing rapidly and beginning
