Innovationation 2006
Photos from the Innovationation 2006!! Went there on 14th October, which is like, a long time ago. Heh.
The RFID card with the chip that's embedded for us. It's supposed to be our identity card for the whole of the exhibition.
Scanned the card at the stations, and then your name appears! Spot my name? Hehe.
Those were the days where the public phones looked like that.
For World War II, this was the walkie-talkie used. Weighs a ton!! Carrying it around and running is enough to make you faint from exhaustion.
This was the kind of office telephone used in the olden days. Can only link up to 6 extension lines.
Typical telephone from the past.
One of the exhibition halls. Nice looking and futuristic, isn't it?
Cordless phone of the past. Looks like the waterbottle.
2nd exhibition area. Notice the long bobs hanging from the ceiling?
These are the long bobs, they are actually speakers. From it you can listen to little nuggets about technology and devices of the past and today.
One of those stations for us to swipe our card. We are supposed to answer the questions in which answers will be consolidated at the end to profile our attitude towards technology.
In those days, the Apple looked like that. Small and compact!
First laptop ever made. By IBM. Till today, their laptop
still looks like this.
First palm top I think. Looks like our tablet PC these days. Haha.
Then the palm pilot evolved into something like that, with no more keyboard.
Play area. This is a table top game, controlled by infra-red sensors from above. The whole table was just a screen for the projected image, and by playing with the projected image we must push the ball to the respective areas.
Another futuristic exhibition area. Looks awesome!
Exhibition area. This one is for people to listen on experts' views regarding the future of innovation and technology.
The headset provided for you to listen. To activate, pull on the metal ring. I am pretty impressed by the way these gadgets work.
Everyone gets to take a photo of themselves, plus their profile from the answers around the exhibits. :) That's me, on the big big screen shortly after my photo was taken.
