Technology

The Bzigo device scans a room for mosquitoes using specialized optics and computer vision algorithms to identify flight patterns. [4] [5] [6] Once it detects that a mosquito has landed, the device marks its location with a pointer and sends a message to a phone application, allowing the recipient to locate the pest and kill it. [7] [8]
