The user interface, letting people know how polluted their area is
Pigeon brigade, London - Mar 2016
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/s4fq
Pigeons are now on patrol in our skies thanks to a new initiative...
The Pigeon Air Patrol has enlisted ten pigeons in London and equipped them with a nitrogen dioxide monitors to help asses the level of air pollution in the city.
The pigeons have been given 'back-packs' that have 25-gram sensor to measure the pollution level.
Of course, the pigeons can tweet too..and curious Londoners can contact the birds' social media page @pigeonair to ask what the pollution rate is in their postcode. With help from research lab Plume labs, a response will be generated, letting tweeters know whether their area is in a 'moderate' or 'extreme' pollution zone.

European launch of 'Ekso' bionic exoskeleton, London, Britain - 21 Oct 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Heathcliff O'Malley / Rex Features (1479649j)
Bionic Exoskeleton Helps Paraplegic Walk Again
A woman who has been in a wheelchair since 1992 has been able to walk again thanks to an unusual bionic exoskeleton.
Amanda Boxtel, who has been paralysed for almost 20 years following a skiing accident, was able to stand and walk with the aid of the Ekso exoskeleton.
She demonstrated the device during its European launch at the London International Technology Show.
The Ekso helps a user to walk by picking up small upper body movements and translating them into strides.
According to Eythor Bender, chief executive officer of Ekso Bionics, the project was originally funded by the American military interested in giving soldiers an advantage on the battlefield.
However, five years ago the company realised that the technology could help people with spinal injuries and they began targeting it to paraplegics.
The Ekso is expected to be available in Britain next year and costs GBP 100,000.

The i-LIMB Pulse prosthetic hand, Livingston, Scotland - 05 May 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Murdoch Ferguson / Rex Features ( 1177867m )
Ian Reid, a firefighter from Thurso, Scotland, who had the lower portion of his right arm amputated after a bus accident, has become the first user of the i-LIMB Pulse prosthetic hand
Firefighter First To Get i-LIMB Pulse Prosthetic Hand
FIREFIGHTER FIRST TO GET i-LIMB PULSE PROSTHETIC HAND
Ian Reid was on a summer holiday in Gran Canaria in 2004, when he was involved in a tragic bus accident that claimed the life of his wife and left him with horrific injuries to his right arm.
After a brake failure, the bus rolled onto its side and slid down a steep road, with Ian's arm horrifically trapped.
The firefighter from the Scottish Highlands spent a week in hospital in Gran Canaria, an experience which he recalls as being the worst of his life.
"I couldn't speak the language and was in a lot of pain and discomfort the whole time," he says.
After a week, his insurance company flew him back to Scotland, where he spent several months in intensive care in Aberdeen.
"It was good to be back home, so my family could be with me," recalls the father of three. "My mum and dad came down from Thurso and stayed by my side the whole time, while friends and family pulled together to make sure the kids were looked after."
Ian's injuries were severe, but he still had some remnant bone and tissue from his hand, and the first goal of surgeons was to try and save whatever function they might be able to from his remaining limb.
"It was a terrible-looking injury, like something out of a horror movie," says Ian. "The surgeons tried to retain a basic open and close pinch between my finger and thumb, but it didn't work out in the end."
"Some of the doctors still wanted me to keep what I had left, because they felt that a prosthetic device wouldn't be able to give me back anything more, but I had really come to hate m...
