Good morning, folks.
Good to be writing to the list after a long break. It was great meeting with those of you who were at the AI convention at Thiruvananthapuram in November. A friend of mine who is a hands-on designer of industrial electronics products has shown an interest in developing / customizing everyday gadgets for use by visually challenged folks like us. This is as much out of his ddesire to help our community as also from his keen interest in taking challenging assignments related to research & development of innovative solutions through electronic embedded systems. An idea that I mooted to him immediately was developing a Universal Remote control with speech support that can be "sellf-learning" to use with gadgets like TVs, DVDs, electric switches, air-conditioners etc. Another idea which struck me was developing a Pen Friend like device that can be priced much lesser for the Indian market place. I would love to get more ideas from all of you for sharing with my friend. At the moment, this is a purely personal project for him with no concrete business plan to roll out the product commercially, but, I am sure all product innovations take the same route. So, please chip in with your ideas, on or off the list. Since I am a technophobic myself, it would be good if you could pen your ideas in plain English than in jargons. (smile) My contact info is given at the end of this mail. Here's wishing you a dashing New Year in 2012...
