Whenever you are alone and feel like talking to someone then you feel that walls should also talk so that you don’t get bored.
Well this will not be a dream anymore as the Sumitomo Osaka Cement and the YRP Ubiquitous Networking Laboratory have developed a one of its kind cement that they call as Cyber-Concrete.
The Cyber-Concrete is embedded with RFID tags that can store data and when an RFID reader is placed near the walls it receives the data from the walls and convert it to spoken form.
The testing of this amazing cement will begin this month and the developers aim to make the product available for construction companies by the spring of 2007.
The applications of such a product are endless but the initial versions of the system will be able to tell its manufacturing, its strength, quality and some data about the reliability and inspections.
This will be a boon in the earthquake prone areas as the users will not have to get the walls inspected by some inspectors as the walls will be able to speak for themselves.
