An engineer has designed a Apple HomePod box that is "enticing" for any thief. It's GPS-enabled, so its journey can be tracked once it leaves his home perimeter. It records video with embedded mobile phones, no matter how the thief picked up the parcel. And, once triggered, it sprays half a kilo of glitter. To add insult to injury it includes a can of "fart spray," programmed to automatically spray after the glitter explosion is triggered. Reactions by the thieves are captured on the video. www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/thieves-stole-a-package-from-an-engineer-so-he-created-a-trap-using-glitter-and-fart-spray-20181219-p50n57.html
Space - Get involved with a NSW-based, industry-led space sector proposal for the Commonwealth Government's Modern Manufacturing Initiative. We welcome attendance from industry and researchers who are interested in participating in a collaborative proposal. The workshop will be split into two sessions:
1. A virtual information session on Monday 19 April at 5pm to provide context surrounding the MMI opportunity and NSW Government's role ahead of the workshop.
2. An in-person workshop on Wednesday 21 April at 2pm to explore opportunities for a NSW-based, industry-led space sector MMI proposal.
