What’s the Point?

We don’t have easy access to information that we can use in our everyday lives.

If we go to McDonalds to buy a Big Mac, we don’t pull out our mobile device and do a Google search to find the nutritional info and reviews on the taste.

It is not handy enough. We need something that is easier to use – hence SixthSense.

Cost and Size

It would not cost more than today’s cell phones. Right now the cost is just $350. Soon it will be even cheaper.

At this point it is small and fits around your neck but in the future it will be even smaller.

The system will recognize the book and find the rating on Amazon.com

Its not perfect yet, maybe in 10 years we will even have the SixthSense brain implant so that we won’t have to wear anything.

Explain what you think SeventhSense would look like and be able to do?

1. Give this computer a name2. Describe it in more detail3. Why should people buy it?4. Where will it be sold?5. How much will you charge for this

computer?6. What will the slogan be?7. What type of person would be most

inclined to buy it?
