Keith’s note: Hamzah Abugosh has built a functional tricorder. I share the same fascination he has with the notion of a tricorder as seen on Star Trek since I was a kid in the 1960s. My friend John Hines and I used to talk about this a lot in the 1990s when he fiddled around with building one at NASA Ames (among many other inventions). This is just a prototype. But it does real tricorder-like things. And you get to see the entire process that went into creating it. Loads of information is posted on GitHub. Full post at Astrobiology.com
