Mobile that allows bosses to snoop on staff developed

(1/2) > >>

Simon:
Researchers have produced a mobile phone that could be a boon for prying bosses wanting to keep tabs on the movements of their staff.

Japanese phone giant KDDI Corporation has developed technology that tracks even the tiniest movement of the user and beams the information back to HQ.  It works by analysing the movement of accelerometers, found in many handsets.  Activities such as walking, climbing stairs or even cleaning can be identified, the researchers say.

Rik:
They'd never detect any movement from me.  ;D

Simon:
Except at mealtimes.  ;D

Rik:
Does chewing count? ;D

Simon:
Going to the fridge does.  ;)
