As I explored the Wired NextFest 2008 web page I found myself intrigued with the concept of the "human car." With all the talk about the world going 'green' I think it's very important for there to be other options in automobile traffic. The human car which is priced at about $15,000 takes the idea of rowing and puts it into movement on land. After viewing a brief video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwrXdsFUmRQ I think the human car is a unique idea, yet falls short of reality. It is completely unsafe to drive on a main road, especially with all the other enormous SUV's that are out there. The only think protecting you is your helmet. I mean c'mon lets be realistic.
The next thing I found compelling was the new technology brought about by EA Sports. The Hoops Interactive Kiosk was invented for the player to get a one-on-one feel with the NBA star Dwyane Wade. A "prototype, Spectrum uses DynaScan's 360-degree walk-around display to let users interact with a photo-realistic recreation." Sounds pretty technical, but very cool. It could be the next big idea for the world of video games.
The web page http://www.wirednextfest.com/inform/2008/exhibits.php was really interesting. It truly shows how technology is constantly created and more often improved upon. The future is an unknown world that is just waiting to be explored.
