The trend toward complex devices that do everything from calling Mom to snapping your picture and sending it to her via e-mail has some users longing for simpler times and simpler gadgets. Like glowing paper weights that shift colors like mood rings to indicate stock market highs and lows. Or paintings that display user-specific information via the placement of objects in the picture.
Join Tech Ranch as we take a look at the Ambient Orb and the InfoCanvas research project, two new developments that herald the beginning of the ubiquitous computing era, that golden age of embedded processors and smart everything. |
