If you can think of a place that is hostile, you will probably visualize the Korea border. The border separates the North and South. This is the last Cold War border in the world. The area is called De-Militarized Zone (DMZ). If you are not familiar about the history of two nations, you should first read their history so you will understand the hostility.
The borders are guarded by military men. Like here in Singapore, boys there are obliged to render their military service. After their service, it is up to them to continue their career as a military man or continue their previous lives. If you will see the DMZ, you will feel the hostility because the fence is heavily fortified. Landmines are also present together with listening posts and spikes. This will make the entering or leaving impossible but there are North Koreans who pass the DMZ unnoticed. This alarmed South Korea.
Between North and South Korea, the latter is the one that is opening its doors to everyone. On that note, South Koreans welcome Microsoft’s equipment that can help them guard their border better. Microsoft designed and developed “movement-recognition Kinect” software. The software is adapted from Xbox. This is the newest security device and it is now installed in DMZ.
Here are some things that you need to know about the “movement-recognition Kinect”:
This is a breakthrough in surveillance technology. In the next years, people anticipate that its application will be domesticated. The new security device will surely strengthen and fortify military surveillance. Though it is pricey, the security of the nation should be prioritized. You cannot put a price on security and peace of mind.
