ABOUT The Bounce Imaging Explorer: the all seeing eye

By





A MIT Sloan Graduate student Francisco Aguilar has designed a device which could save the lives of thousands of victims. David Young is his partner of creating this device.This device is called the Bounce Imaging Explorer which looks like a Baseball. It is contented with different cameras and also fixed with array of sensor.
This device is black in color. This device could be thrown into any kinds of dangerous spot to detect the area.
This device could not save the lives of the victims only but it can also give different important signals during the emergence. This device can give scenic images from the inaccessible space. Besides it can give mobile signal to the user about the hazards. The most important thing is that this device is very sensitive to different kinds of smokes.

The idea of developing of this device has come to him from a very tragic incident of 12th January, 2010 when a severe earthquake hit Haiti.  At least 100000 people were died on that natural calamity. But many people were trapped under the debris. When the rescue team reached to the affected place, they were failed to accelerate the work as they fail to find out the victims. So Aguilar decided to build a device which will help to the rescue department during the rescue work. The device can be very useful to the soldiers.  By using this device, they can detect the exact location of the enemy.

According to Francisco the motive of creating this device is "If you remember the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, you saw hundreds of thousands of people buried under the rubble. After an earthquake most people die in the first 48 hours. People who are trapped tend to die in the first 48 hours. And the international rescue teams came with their very sophisticated equipment, and did a fantastic job when they got there, (but) they didn't get there for 48 hours. And their tools, their fiber optic scopes, and all the kinds of equipment that they have, cost $50,000, and are very hard to use. So, despite their very valiant efforts, they pulled out a few hundred people, but most of the damage was already done,"
Francisco is going to produce this device in the next year. He thinks that its cost will fluctuate between $500 and $1000.
He also explained one of the most important things:
"And that moved from search and rescue, to police who often face hostage situations: aggressive shooters, or terrorism. To fire fighting applications, where people often want to search different rooms in a complex, before having to enter or decide whether there is a fire or not. So there's a common problem across first responders of having to decide whether to enter a house or a space. And we are trying to make it cheap and easy to get images while they are out of there."

So the invention of this device will help the world greatly in security sector, disaster management department etc.
