The Future of Portable Computing

I work in the tech industry, and have always had an interest in computing, communication and their development. I try to keep up to date with what is being researched and looked at for the next generation of computing devices that we'll all be carrying around and using in say 10 years time.




This particular video is of a presentation given by Patti Maes, who leads a team at MIT. Her team are working on the future of the interface between computer and user, and here they demonstrate a working prototype for a device that if they are right, has the potential to replace todays smartphone.

If you have any interest in this area, this is well worth 10 minutes of your time, the ideas and concepts presented are very simple and intuitive. Its a bit hard to see the whole projector thing presented catching on, but the next version will probably look at some way of projecting the images generated straight into your own eyes so that the information displayed will be private to you.

I can't wait to get mine ...
