TIS Weekly (#50): One World One Voice

[May 22nd, 2016]

We know you’re busy, but we know you like innovations too! That’s why we make a weekly selection of three videos that have been added to TIS. Here’s our pick of this week!

Social Innovation 
One World One Voice

There will be a time where we can all talk in our own language and at the same time will be able to communicate with people from other countries in their own languages. Google translate is getting better and better, but there’s more. Waverly Labs takes things one step further. They built an earpiece that translates in your ear what someone else is saying. Well it does in the promo, let’s hope this becomes reality!

Refugees 
Run like a refugee

You can read about refugees and their stories and realities. But of course you really can’t feel what it is like to have to run from your country and family. VR gets you closer to reality. That’s wat ‘Insight Installation’ does. Run like a refugee to get to the core issue. Experience a refugee’s journey by running on a treadmill with an Oculus Rift on.

Robots 
Robots are pretty good with swords too

You know by now that we have a fascination with robots. What can they do? How can they help us? What’s good? What’s bad? This is simply a fascinating video. A competition between man an machine with swords. Take a look!

OK that’s it for this week, friends of innovation. Keep on submitting, keep on voting, keep on innovating. Questions? Remarks? Ideas? hello@tis.tv is the address! From TIS with love, Erwin Blom.
