A Genius who is creating a new world of Information Technology

Today when the companies are trying harder and harder to reduce the size of their hardware and the world is getting crazy behind those smallest sizes of hardware like micro, nano or pico or more. They are actually forgetting a thing which is a human touch and its invaluable than any damn small size or compactable hardware machine. In this race, people are also losing the focus that we are fond of information and not any kind of beautiful gadget or hardware. Any such technology that brings us the information which will be effective as well as easier to understand, we will quickly take it. So may it be machine or a simple physical touch use device.

I feel on this planet, the only thing which can be easy, comfortable, compactable and user friendly is device which will recognize a human touch. So, it does not matter how small you make our personal devices if you are not diminishing the hardware itself.

After seeing past 2-3 decades of computing hardware, first time I saw somebody who actually stood apart from all such races and the flow of world. His Name is Pranav Mistry. He is currently one of the youngest and top most scientists in the world. He has produced a simplest form of digital touch model which is known as Sixth Sense device, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data.In this video, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data -- includes intelligent sticky notes, Quickies, that can be searched and can send reminders; a pen that draws in 3D; and TaPuMa, a tangible public map that can act as Google of physical world.  This also evolves a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper "laptop."

Pranav Mistry is a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT's Media Lab. Before his studies at MIT, he worked with Microsoft as a UX researcher; he's a graduate of IIT. Mistry is passionate about integrating the digital informational experience with our real-world interactions. His research interests also include Gestural and Tangible Interaction, Ubiquitous Computing, AI, Machine Vision, Collective Intelligence and Robotics.

Here, I am discussing the above video which showed you the trailer of the technology of future generation which neither need any mobile box size hardware to carry in hand nor any desktop or laptop size machines for our personal work. We can simply do things with our sixth sense. Pranav Mistry is the inventor of that SixthSense.

Then the best part which made me fan of him is his attitude of spreading his innovation for mankind. The Q&A in this video itself will tell you about his greatness.  As per my knowledge, very very seldom scientist open their inventions to masses where he is not only giving this technology to common people but also providing open-source software behind SixthSense, to open all its possibilities to all. J

When I saw this video it brought few tears of pride in my eyes. He, so much ease explains almost everything, I only hope his innovations are NOT used by greedy to make money but by people to HELP others and that’s what are the intentions of Pranav. He is truly asset to mankind. I found his work simply amazing. Now, I am really a fond of his new sensational technology, and all I can wish now if I could meet and work with him some day.J

Incredible India..!!

 National Anthem of India

Composed by Rabindranath Tagore, the song Jana Gana Mana was first sung on December 27, 1911 at the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress. On January 24, 1950, the Constituent Assembly adopted the song as the National Anthem of India.The complete song consists of five stanzas. The first stanza comprises the full version of the National Anthem.

National Song of India

Composed by Bankim Chandra, this song appears in the Bengali novel Anand Math.  The English translation of Vande Mataram rendered by Shree Aurobindo, is considered to be the "official" and best.  The first stanza of this song has been given the status of our national song.

Why to be Zombie when you have Prezi..!!

In my MBA, we have two live business consultancy projects to do as a part of our curriculum for which we worked almost more than 6 months and then after all that sleepless nights and hardcore work, time come up to present our final findings about that project.

For me, It was my first real time business consultancy presentation experience, and of course I wanted to do something special and different to win over my clients and supervisor quickly. Very enthusiastically I turned to PowerPoint to enrol good animated stuff to my presentation but It was really too much of work and was still showing no different values added to it. However, I wanted to make simple presentation with little tickle for my audience feel that little “Woooohh...!”

Honestly speaking, I do understand that winning audience is many times mainly depend on the presenter rather than anything else but I also feel that to keep that interest going for long time presenter need to have something for audience to look at. That’s when, PowerPoint came in picture and soon became very common too. Nowadays, if you see people put best of the information in their PowerPoint presentation, but audience doesn’t even look at it and goes absolutely dead. The sole reason for this is PowerPoint presentations paralyze the audience, make them fell asleep while the rubbish presenter speaks sotto voce (Italian - Under Voice) on stage reading the speech word-for-all-stumbling-words. After all this then, there is no room left for someone who is poor presenter. Now only one thing can poor presenter make survive is the tool and technique which he used to present his idea and make that zombie speaker stand out, and a poor idea shine. 

Having thought of all this in my mind I decided to find something very simple to make and very attractive to look at. Since then, I started doing Internet research to find something new which can be different, creative, innovative, and eye catchy and most important keeps the audience engaged. After having look at few such ideas I came across PREZI.com and the moment I saw it I decided Yes!! This is what I want for my final presentation. Then, I convinced my team and started working on it.

Initially, I found its bit weird and vague but later I realized that’s actually it’s strength. It was very easy to learn and understand. The feature I loved most in Prezi was simplicity in presenting one’s idea, Prezi allows the speaker to encourage a dialogue, and visualize ideas as if you were drawing a mind map for your audience and keep their interest in presentation than creating linear line of slides. This feature adds huge plus point because you can refer all slides or each slide to other whenever you want without making audience confused from one slide to another.

If you want to have demo for this please have a look on below link for sample presentation, where one can just start making presentation like Mind Map and present exactly the same way, with no sequential slide no structure, nothing. Just start putting your ideas the way you want, connect them and just present them.

So, I think it’s time for me, you and all of us to move forward from PowerPoint to something else to be better presenter or at least try and not to be a presenter who is walking on stage in front of dead audience.
