Chris Harrison, a Graduate Student at Carnegie Mellon University thinks you should never have to touch your cell phone at all. In fact, it shoould be the size of a matchbook with a full size keyboard. That gives a whole new meaning to “hands-free calling”.
Chris is the Inventor of an amazing new prototype that turns a person’s hand and forearm into a keyboard and a screen. It uses a pico-projector in the phone to turn your forearm into a full size keyboard. Simply tap your arm to send a message instead of pulling out your phone!
The prototype is called “Sinkput” and he recently conducted a small sample test of it’s accuracy on 13 people that proved it is already 96% accurate. However, that test was only using a total of 5 buttons. Harrison says he has a way to go before he reaches the “Holy Grail” of a full size keyboard being functional.

Just in time for the 2010 Olympics, Google announces their Street View Snowmobile. I love this idea! So many years I’ve wished for a more “community-centric” view of the Olympics – more visuals of the snowy peaks and the villages.
This year, we will be able to become even more immersed in the Winter Olympics than in years past! All the thanks goes to Google’s newest addition to Street View – the Snowmobile!
This is such a great idea, it makes me wonder if they are working to retrofit a BOB with video equipment for the Summer Olympics!

IT’S FEAR TALKING! PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
