jamboinglasgow Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ok I will try to get the ball rolling, I quite excited at the possibilities of what technology that helped create Kinnect can do, the idea that it could be soon that we can control interfaces like in Minority Report but without the gloves. I think it would look odd at first controlling your computer with hand gestures (I would shudder what the up and down fist movement would make the computer do) but it seems right way to control a computer (I may be wrong.)

redm Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 After watching that Black Mirror series I've kind of gone off the idea of too many technological advances. The future is a wee bit scary actually. I'm still a bit eighties in my hopes for the future. I think I'd settle for one of those robots that makes your tea, does your ironing and washes dishes.

Radioactive Mince Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not exactly all that new, but I'm giving serious thought to buying one of Renault's new electric cars when they come out - the saloon one (I cannae mind its name right now). Current car costs 25p per mile to run, ?245 per year to tax etc etc. These will cost 2p-ish per mile and ?0 VED. Will still have a petrol car for journeys longer than 100 miles, but I've had more than one car for about 5 years now anyway. Had 4 up until a couple of weeks ago; decided collecting toy cars takes up less space Seriously though, at 17k they undercut most other reasonably sized electric vehicles by about 7 grand and, even getting one on lease or buying 5 year 0%, including the battery rental of ?70ish p/m (essential IMO as they cost about as much as the car to replace), it still won't cost as much as just FUEL ALONE is costing me with the current car. Assuming it will last 5 years, I'll be major quids in after that. Changing every 3 years on a lease deal appeals also. Apart from this, there's not really much going on that is going to drastically change my life I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would look odd at first controlling your computer with hand gestures (I would shudder what the up and down fist movement would make the computer do) but it seems right way to control a computer (I may be wrong.) I work for a materials technology company and one of our biggest customers in the US are developing this technology with Sony. They have already proven a TV remote based on the Kinnect - you basically control the TV by waving your hands and 'virtually' tapping the buttons which pop up on the screen. The applications are for this touchless technology are endless........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with the Tefal actifry. Immense. Chips in 25mins and only a spoonful of olive oil. You can also make all types of sauces, cooks meat to perfection. Just chuck the ingredients in as required, sit back and relax. Amazon does the 1.5kg model at ?140. Cheap as, ahem, chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
