    At the America’s Cup in Valencia with Green Comm Challenge

    Green Comm Challenge Base

    The 33rd America’s Cup opened this Monday in Valencia, and we are here at the Green Comm Challenge base, following the race between the two teams of Alinghi, the defender, and BMW Oracle, the challenger. Well, we would be, were it not that for the second time the opening race has been postponed, first on Monday for lack of stable wind, and now on Wednesday due to the waves which were too big, and could risk damaging the two boats.

    Today’s race is about these two teams, and their prowess at sailing, and at designing and building the most advanced sailing machines on the planet.

    What will be the next edition? There are too many open variables today to tell. But what we at WideTag want to contribute to the advancement of the field, is the deep understanding of how in the next few years, at an accelerating pace, all our objects are going to be connected, and communicating. And with this process they will be better attuned to the world around them, better able to tell their stories, perform under stress, an edge conditions, up to the task of listening to, and then narrating the stream of data that will form the basis of the strategic, and tactical decisions of the teams of the future America’s Cups.

    In the process we will also create a series of new opportunities of technologies to emerge, and to be quickly tested, and adopted by industries. The Internet Of Things, and the products that WideTag is creating for its best foundation, like WideSpime 2, are going to see a great expansion everywhere. And if in the meantime we can participate in some sailing races, that will be an additional nice incentive!

    1. So you are tracking Co2 concentrations for global warming? I had thought that water vapor was causing most of the issue?
