Brainstorming Room Accelerates Ideas to Warp 9
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 6:00 AM on June 27, 2008
This is Kage Roi, a room that listens to conversations using speech recognition. It identifies keywords and constantly searches the web for related material, displaying information and images to help brainstorming sessions. In theory, combined with lighting that simulates the changes in sunlight, boosts people's creativity. An amazing idea that, for obvious reasons, we would never be able to use here at Giz.

@OMG! Ponies!: OMG, I just realized you meant the Mr. Hands video. I live on a horse farm, and I try not to think of horse/human sex too much b/c it is seriously disturbing. But yes, perhaps that would show up on the table.

@shamoononon has a hebetudinous dog: is there a name of food you can look up with which ass fisting pops?
If not so read about the food you're eating.

Somehow, this machine is always going to think somebody said "we should buy another one of these things! It's too cheap!"

Hopefully no one says "fuck you and the horse you rode in on", or the web pages it brings up could be NSFW.

I think the lighting system sounds awesome and I would love that. I am the type of person that can sit in a dimly lit uninhabited library for hours. That lighting looks really relaxing.
But
"A ceiling-mounted projector then casts the retrieved data and imagery onto dark, human-shaped shadows on the table during the course of the meeting."
I could see this going wrong in so many ways. For example quite often I google for fairly innocent images and then for some dumb reason goatse pops up.

"lightning that simulates the changes in sunlight"
that's some pretty awesome lightning, way better than lighting.
With that said, this room does seem quite a good concept for think tanks, though the actual gains may or may not be significant. The one thing that they are missing is some classical music playing in the background, because we all know that classical music boosts IQ (no really it does, it's been proven).

This room would completely destroy any and all ideas. Can you imagine a room that bombards you with insane google searches and wiki articles while you're trying to think through an idea?

I think its looks cool...I want a NSFW only version of this that brings of porn of everything...like, my mind is always in the gutter but this would be awesome!
Although it might be disturbing at times, like, what if I were watching horse races? Or talking about fish? Or a tree? (there must be tree porn out there who knows...)

@towlie420: Yeah, what the hell, let's burn one.
@Valicious: "I hope somebody gets one day suddenly the conclusion o' legalizing that smokative stuffatives with this or without."
That's the most sense you've made in quite some time. Hey Towlie, don't bogart that joint, Valicious wants a hit.
@BlindEagle: "Is it sad that that's the first thing i thought of?"
Yes.
@LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: "there must be tree porn out there"
You'd think so with all the "tree hugging" going on.
