Pranav
Mistry, an Indian computer scientist, is passionate about integrating the
digital information experience with our real-world needs and has several
inventions to his credits. These include intelligence sticky notes, called
Quickies that can be searched and send reminders, and a pen that draws in 3D. He
invented the ‘Sixth
Sense’ a device that enables
interaction between the real world and the world of data.
Pranav Mistry is a computer scientist and inventor. He is the President and CEO of Samsung STAR Lab since October 2019. He is best known for his work on SixthSense, Samsung Galaxy Gear, and Project Beyond.
The President and CEO of
Samsung’s STAR Labs told ET in an exclusive interview that he created Neon
because human beings are unable to connect with artificial intelligence (AI)
assistants such as Apple’s Siri
Pranav, a
computer scientist, and inventor who grew up in the small Gujarati town of
Palanpur is known for creating Sixth Sense, a gesture-controlled wearable
device. He has previously worked with Microsoft,
Google, and NASA, among others. At
his CES 2020 presentation, Mistry says that if there was one cause he could
dedicate his life to, it would be the Neon—a
mode to make machines more human.
Currently, the Neons work with two kinds of technology—Core R3 (which
stands for reality, real-time and responsiveness); and the in-progress SPECTRA,
which will give Neons long-standing memory, like the human brain. Mistry says that
the technology is still raw, and the beta version of the Neon will debut
at the end of 2020, at an event called Neon World. “This isn’t something that will be
launched today and you can have in your homes tomorrow,” he said at his CES
presentation. “We are becoming more like machines, rather than the other way
around. That’s what we want to fix.”
Mistry spoke with Forbes India about
the Neon avatars and the
the potential of the technology on the sidelines of CES 2020.
