What’s the Point? • We don’t have easy access to information that we can use in our everyday lives. • If we go to McDonalds to buy a Big Mac, we don’t pull out our mobile device and do a Google search to find the nutritional info and reviews on the taste. • It is not handy enough. We need something that is easier to use – hence SixthSense.
Cost and Size • It would not cost more than today’s cell phones. Right now the cost is just $350. Soon it will be even cheaper. • At this point it is small and fits around your neck but in the future it will be even smaller.
SeventhSense • The system will recognize the book and find the rating on Amazon.com • Its not perfect yet, maybe in 10 years we will even have the SixthSense brain implant so that we won’t have to wear anything. • Explain what you think SeventhSense would look like and be able to do?
We just saw the development of a computer that will be mounted on your body.Pretend that you have invented such a device. Answer the following questions…
Computer that mounts on your body… • Give this computer a name • Describe it in more detail • Why should people buy it? • Where will it be sold? • How much will you charge for this computer? • What will the slogan be? • What type of person would be most inclined to buy it?
