Other interesting stuff
It’s impossible to visit everything at CeBIT within two days. Of course our crew split up; me and my colleague Gubro visited the three large network providers. There were lots of things at T-Mobile’s huge stand, but the best fun was the video wall, that functioned with a touch interface, just like in Minority Report. It was hard to take me away from there, here’s the video:
The other interesting thing was at Telenor, where we have seen two men sitting at a wooden table, heavily concentrating with a headband on their heads, while there was a ball rolling on the table. There were all kinds of curves visible on the monitors above their heads, so we went on a round just as they have finished. We have both thought that this is some kind of brain activity meter and the winner is the one who “thinks better”.
Video: from about the fifth minute there is a video about the device, I just couldn’t find anything else about this Mindball. There is something about the brother of this device, (although not exactly this one), here.
We were wrong. The goal is to use your brain the least possible, that is not to think about anything. The ball rolls in the direction of the one who has a greater brain activity. The fact is that this is a really hard task. Finally Gubro lost because he thought about what would happen if someone from our crew would be wandering about, seeing us sitting at a table with a completely dumb look on our face. As for me, I zoomed in on the blue carpet and was repeating in myself that this is blue. With this I have won, so I can now be proud of having a weaker brain activity than my colleague. Hooray.
On our way home...
So we were at CeBIT this year too. If navigation devices shall be exhibited in Hannover in the future, than we are sure to be there.
