Scott Ananian, the developer working on smart watches, produced a watch that can measure the level of carbon dioxide in the air, using the open source clock called Watchy. In this way, the developer aims to detect the human density in the environment and naturally the danger of COVID-19.
Watchy-based watch can measure carbon dioxide level
With the introduction of smart watches into our lives, the capabilities of such new generation accessories are improving day by day. Finally, Apple has announced that it will try to detect diseases such as depression and autism with the Apple Watch in the near future. A developer named Scott Ananinan managed to detect the level of carbon dioxide in the air by producing a smart watch called Watchy, which is open to users to develop.
By nature, human beings are creatures that take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Although the increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the environment depends on other variables, it mostly means an increase in the number of people in the environment. In this sense, the risk of contracting diseases such as COVID-19, which is transmitted through respiratory tract, is much higher in places where carbon dioxide levels are high.
A developer living in the USA has developed a smartwatch that can measure the level of carbon dioxide in the air using Watchy’s ready-made watch kit and Sensiron SCD40 and SCD41 sensors. The watch displays carbon dioxide in the air in particles per minute (ppm) and graphs it second by second.
Another smartwatch developed with Watchchy…
The developer of the watch states that he made this kit with an open-source watch called Watchy, which has electronic ink and can be modified. Although the watch offers a resolution of 200×200 pixels, it draws attention with a 180-degree viewing angle and ultra-low power consumption. Weighing only 13 grams, Watchy has dimensions of 46 x 35 x 9.5 mm.
So what do you think about this watch? Do you think that the usage area of this watch can be expanded in the future? Do not forget to share your views with us in the comments section.
