Brief 339 is all about research, baby! I LOVE shiny, happy tech coming to market today, but much more that that, I love getting a look at the raw science and engineering that will make it's way into ordinary products of tomorrow. That's been our goal since the beginning and those few episodes where we've been able to bring future tech to the Brief have been my favorite. In Las Vegas, I met Thad Starner [1]. He's doing stuff as amazing as Dean Kamen [2], but he's not quite as well known...YET. He was walking around all day looking kind of like Mad-Eye Moody with his futuristic wearable display. It's an expensive prototype that includes an oQo computer [3] running Ubuntu, a battery pack, a wearable VGA display that clips to his glasses and a one-handed input device called a Twiddler.
