Friend of mine sent this video of a wearable tech device that's quite 'minority report' like in it's potential and delivery!! Do watch the video. It's about 9 minutes. But worth every second!!
This demo -- from Pattie Maes' lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry -- was the buzz at TED. It's a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine "Minority Report" and then some.
Pranav Mistry is the genius behind Sixth Sense - this wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data.
Next is what!!

The Irony of Choice
.jpg)
A while ago I bought our new refrigerator. An LG frost free 330L from Vijay Sales.However it was the most unsatisfying durable purchase ever!
There was plenty of choice and yet all of them looked alike! Tall, grey and handsome...LG looked like Samsung which looked like Whirlpool which in turn looked like Godrej...
Finally after 10 minutes of point-less comparison, we settled on LG. I wasn't convinced...But then we had to be back home in time for little Neo.
Rewind to 1997, when I bought my first Kelvinator in Chennai. A real beauty - 180litres of quiet direct-cool mechanism! I still miss it...It had character, a distinct identity( with its cherry red colour) and no post-purchase disonace!!
And I have been having these pre-and post purchase dissonance in almost all my white and brown good purchases in the recent past.
- I never know whether I have made a good/ best choice.
- When it comes to last mile differentiation, brands/ companies are relatively inept.
- There is a perennial fear of obsolescence at the back of the mind!!
Looks like the irony of the choice economy is here to stay!
