I'm debating on the NEST, its a new high-end thermostat for your house developed by the guy that developed the iPOD. Its a great interface and excellent concept. - http://www.nest.com/
We've developed as a society technologically, but there are developments in the past that I would still have to say were awe inspiring. What happened to Holograms? I remember in the early 90's late 80's there was this video game that was a hologram based game. It was amazing to seem characters pop out of a flat sheet of glass and be able to run my hands right through them. Concept was horrible, but the technology was prevalent. But this technology seems to be no longer adapted to everyday consumer use. And the game in question ceased to exist and was probably so costly that it was hard to sell to various consumer markets. But I would think by now or in the near future, we would have evolved as a society enough to be able to handle such an evolutionary concept. Wouldn't it be cool to just walk into your conference room and sit down at a table of co-workers that aren't actually there? That conference room was all created to holographic images of the individuals sitting in chairs from miles away? Yet so realistic that you felt comfortable enough to interact with them as if they were sitting right in front of you? We lose that sense of realism with conference calls and internet chatting. It seems as if we could easily get this back through undertaking the re-development of concepts that were once prevalent in society and have no longer been adopted as the norm. Robots, Holograms, and Virtual Reality are really something that shouldn't be associated to the 80's and 90's.. But something that would be a great fit along the likes of Siri and Xbox Kinect.
