Dr. Peter Jansen, a scientist who works at the University of Arizona by day, but dons his Maker Cape at night, has assembled a working tricorder gadget that looks pretty cool. You can hear him talk about it in the linked video, or check out the web site he created for it at http://www.tricorderproject.org. It’s an open development project, so you too can build your own tricorder if you feel so inclined.
