That's the point, it's a new project which is still in development. For what it is at this point it's very cool and interests me quite a bit. I'm quite curious to see what other applications he has in mind for this system. One thing I know I would like to see is a smart sensor for lighting in the bathroom. Self-activating lights int he bathroom would be ideal for reduction of bacterial/germ transmission. Less things to touch after = less spread. The 2nd part of this would be to integrate a motion sensor and timing system which allows the lighting to be automatically activated, but to come on at a dimmer level during late night visits. I know I for one, hate stepping into the bathroom at 3 AM and being blinded by the solar flare which are my vanity lights.]]>Apr 7th 2010 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/chad-barrafords-jarvis-life-assistant-is-the-envy-of-pepper-pot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/chad-barrafords-jarvis-life-assistant-is-the-envy-of-pepper-pot/
It needs video and voice recognition. Considering the target market, it should have a BAC sensing feature as well, and come with a bunch of sweet cars and a mansion on a cliff... And an awesome suit of armor...

I just need a computer like in ST: The Next Generation, that can understand questions and talk back to me with alerts and reminders in any room of the house I'm in. I wish it was as easy as it sounds. I don't care for it to do everything for me, I think all this other stuff is overkill. it doesn't need to know when I'm smiling or crying!]]>Apr 7th 2010 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/chad-barrafords-jarvis-life-assistant-is-the-envy-of-pepper-pot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/chad-barrafords-jarvis-life-assistant-is-the-envy-of-pepper-pot/Apr 7th 2010 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/chad-barrafords-jarvis-life-assistant-is-the-envy-of-pepper-pot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/chad-barrafords-jarvis-life-assistant-is-the-envy-of-pepper-pot/
