Billion Dollar Idea: Interpretive Stock Market Dance Figurine
Haptic feedback is a popular feature of smartphones and other handheld devices, which help provide tight feedback to users when they tap the screen or use the controls of their device. A tap generates a quick buzz, telling you that your tap was a success.
Unfortunately, some industries and activities lack such a tightly coupled feedback loop. A glaring example is tracking stocks. Checking up on index values can be tedious, what with reading text and analyzing implications. Wouldn't it be great if there was a haptic feedback mechanism for something like stocks?
Enter - the Interpretive Dancing Dashboard Robot. This robot wirelessly tracks metrics like the stock index values, and performs interpretive dance to reflect whether the metric is improving or declining, with full customization of attitude, sense of taste and style, and expression. If your portfolio is underperforming, the dashbot will move into a slower, more morose portrayal of its internal sense of conflict. If, however, things are on the upswing and the forecast is bright, it will boogie down, clap its hands, and clearly illustrate its euphoric state of being, hopefully inspiring you to do a little dance as well.
Just remember to send me a couple shares when you IPO.
