    70: Make Us All into Sherlock Holmes

    Rob Faludi, chief innovator at Digi International and author of 'Building Wireless Sensor Networks', discusses the technical details of Zigbee mesh networking, the design of the LilyPad XB wearable radio, and the surprising application of commercial maker hardware in NASA space missions. He explains how Digi's XB radios facilitate low-power, local-area sensor networks for industrial and maker applications, contrasting Zigbee with proprietary Digimesh and Wi-Fi. Faludi also shares insights on the creative process, emphasizing the importance of direct observation and user research over pure technology-first thinking.
