“I'm sure that the ideas being incubated at places like Startup Village today will form the core of the technologies of tomorrow.”
“I think that integrating information to everyday objects will not only help us to get rid of the digital divide, the gap between these two worlds, but will also help us, in some way, to stay human, to be more connected to our physical world.”
“I'm good with digital technology, but I start to miss the physical world. I miss riding my bike, talking to friends.”
“When you talk about objects, one other thing automatically comes attached to that thing, and that is gestures: how we manipulate these objects, how we use these objects in everyday life. We use gestures not only to interact with these objects, but we also use them to interact with each other.”
“With Gear, you're able to make calls and receive calls without ever taking your phone out of your pocket.”
“I love to see technology from a design perspective and vice versa. I am a 'Desigineer.'”
“Digital world is changing its home, and I am in search of an evolution that exists beyond the digital world.”
“Technology is only meaningful when it reaches the people.”
“I have poor people skills, and I cannot become a minister.”
“Our research centres are everywhere, in India, China, Turkey, Japan, and we all work as a team all the time.”
“Our time is a time for crossing boundaries.”
“Many of my projects are inspired by Indian mythology. We have read that in the ancient times, people could expand their body parts, extend arms - all of that reads like a dream. But all this can be done using technology based on simple solutions.”
“It's about time we stopped asking what the computer can do for us and instead ask ourselves what we can do for the computer.”
“For true augmented reality, the display would have to dynamically focus, which would require additional hardware on the glasses to read your eye.”
“We need to stop talking and start acting, and I am more than eager to be part of that change.”
“As seventh graders, my classmates and I would make rockets to see what made them fly and models of remote-controlled motor boats because Palanpur had heavy rainfall.”
“My life's goal is to get rid of computers and invent everything that removes its necessity.”
“I want to work on impactful projects.”
“My lab is like a fantasy world - it is more like a 'James Bond' movie!”
“There are endless consumer applications, but what excites me is how this can help people. A man who cannot speak communicates with sign language, but the average person doesn't know that language. SixthSense, if equipped with speakers, can recognize the gestures and form the words - it will speak for him.”
