Legoland Introduces Wi-Fi Tracking for Kids

Posted by timothy on from the big-happy-smile dept.

mindless4210 writes "Lego announced today the successful deployment of a full-scale child-tracking system within Legoland Billund in Europe. The tracking system, deployed by Bluesoft, Inc and KidSpotter, allows park visitors keep track of their children using one of the world's largest Wi-Fi tracking networks. The children must wear a wrist band with a Wi-Fi tag on it, and if they become separated, parents simply send a text message from their mobile phone, and receive an automated response giving them the accurate location of their child."

    The wristband also pricks the skin and contains a number of enzymes which react in different ways with different gene sequences contained in the skin. It then continuously modulates the signal over a seventeen minute period to transmit many of the special markers that the DOD uses to identify certain middle eastern and left-wing peoples.
