No Substitute for Human Contact & your viability experiment

This is one of the reasons that I am certain Microvision will be successful. It is only a little bit convoluted: 

We love to take pictures and videos with their phones.
We take those pictures and videos so we can share our experiences.

Try this: Take your best picture. Next time you're with a group of people, show that picture to the people right next to you. When you get a positive reaction -- other people will want to see it. Then you'll end up passing your phone around the table, and the reaction from others will be diminished.

If you have a PicoP projector, don't show it first to the person next to you -- put it on the wall. Now you're sharing with everyone at the same time. A MUCH better experience for everyone. 

That's human contact.

The same goes for sharing media -- much nicer to watch an episode of your favorite sit-com with someone else on a big screen than by yourself on a small screen.

The moto-mod and DLP -- a better, but less of an experience, because you have to fiddle with that focus wheel.

We're waiting, sure. I can wait, and buy more down here.

“There’s no substitute for human contact,” Cook told BuzzFeed News. “And so you want the technology to encourage that.”
