  Personal Autonomous Cooling System (PACS)Nathan Scott

PACS stands for Personal Autonomous Cooling System. A wall or window mounted air conditioning unit is designed to cool an entire room, but for personal offices this is highly inefficient. Only the person that is occupying the office needs to be cooled, and a much greater level of efficiency can be reached with a low-power solution. PACS will incorporate a camera (in this case, the Microsoft Kinect) with a robotic arm and a small cooling unit to selective cool the person rather than the room.
