Samuels is a Department of the Army civilian, working as a research chemist studying remote sensing technology at Edgewood Chemical Biological Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
Marvin Sackner, the doctor and inventor behind the LifeShirt, has adapted most of the sensing technology from bedside equipment in hospitals, finding ways to make such devices comfortably portable.
Additionally, taking self-portraits or group shots are easy thanks to Samsung's unique Gesture Shot, which applies motion-sensing technology so that users can control the camera remotely using hand gestures alone.
The system leverages distance-sensing technology that we've seen before from Mercedes, Toyota, and the like, but requires a reflective lens on the garage wall to operate, which unfortunately precludes its use in public parking lots.
Furthermore, to help ensure everyone is included in that group shot, the MV900F touts Samsung's ground-breaking Gesture Shot, which uses motion-sensing technology so that users can zoom and snap a photo with simple hand motions from across the room.

The technology processes remote-sensing data, including data from the LANDSAT and RADAR satellites, in combination with ground truth data provided by a ground penetrating radar and other information drawn from geological, hydrogeological, geographical, hydrological and climate data and, when dealing with deep aquifers, seismological data.
Sensing the danger, a rival group of technology firms has already begun to gather around now-struggling Accenture and mighty Microsoft, which feels the Linux threat to its own operating systems.
Most of the current wearable devices confine themselves to health and fitness uses and contain basic technology, such as a motion-sensing pedometer that may offer less than precise readings.
"We are not sensing any signs for stepping back on the use of this technology, " he says.
Coordinate with national and international geoscience authorities and policy makers on research, technology transfer and public awareness raising programmes on the use of remote sensing for environmental monitoring, geohazard mitigation, georesource modeling, transboundary geoscience map integration, geoengineering, climate change and environmental geology.
This technology relies upon a light beam that is shot at an angle through a sensing chamber to a receptor.
