A Cheap, Ubiquitous Earthquake Warning System for Nepal and Beyond



An interesting DUI application is to enhance human senses. Researchers relentlessly proposed and proved the existence of extra human sense organs since Aristotle first classified the five basic senses. Physiological comparison of the same sensory type between humans and animals reveals that some animal sensory systems are more sensitive, some of them can even sense the seismic waves before earthquakes happen (Yamauchi et al. 2014), thus UABs (unusual animal behaviours) can be applied as a natural disaster sense for human beings. Spiritual Sixth Sense is a controversial subject that many attempts have been tried to prove without success, but abnormal behaviours such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, remote viewing, etc., keep on happening without logical explanation. Collection of local and/or remote sensory data through a combination of various DUIs may be a possible way to simulate those paranormal sixth sense activities based on ubiquitous sensors and scientific computational intelligent algorithms (see Table 2). Despite missing formal definition, super senses are generally referred to as superior to normal human sensory system. As stated above, there are many animal sensory organs having superior sensitivity to the human counterparts. The following discussions will treat super sense as an enhancement of the extended human senses based on DUI connectivity to IoT and the associated Ubiquitous Computing technologies.
