Taiwan’s local technology sector has received an unlikely boost during the pandemic… there’s been a spike in demand for a certain kind of product that helps relieve boredom.
With more people cooped up at home, people are turning to technology for entertainment. Take, for example, a wrist sensor that can help you play your favorite video game from the comfort of your own couch. Not into screens? Well, the very same technology can be used to drive this remote control vehicle.
The Southern Taiwan Science Park is offering a class that teaches about sensor technology. One student says that the appeal is that it can help you do things while you laze about at home.
Sensor technology, like virtual reality, has seen a massive boost in sales since the pandemic started. And it’s not just fun and games. One of the class’s instructors says it can also be used in physical rehabilitation.
