BeAMindBlower.com - Use Air Flow To Control Devices

When I sit back and think how movies like “Firefox” seemed to deal with issues that were anything but tangible, I can but be amazed. That particular movie dealt with a fighter plane which could be piloted using your mind.

The way everything is heading, that might not be so implausible anymore. We still have some way to go, of course. But when I come across services such as this one, I have to ask myself how far are we at all.



I say so because a company named Zyxio has just devised a sensor which lets you control anything by blowing. It is as easy and fascinating as that. And they have created this site in order to leverage collective wisdom and imagination. You see, here you will have the chance to take part of a competition in which you will be asked to: A) Come up with your own ideas and uses for such a sensor, and B) Judge the ideas of others. The big prizes for judges include smartphones and netbooks, and runner-ups will walk home with t-shirts. And those who compete instead of judging can win a position on the advisory board of the company.

This is a clever move indeed – not only are they raising awareness about a system of its own, but they are actually spicing up the interest of the online community. In the end, the feeling of moving forwards with technology is never the same as propelling technology forwards ourselves. And that is the true value of a site like this one.
