I feel in love with holography, which is that you don't have to wear anything or carry anything. It is augmented reality, if you will.
For the devices we use... the funding models are completely screwed up. Angel funding isn't sufficient for hardware.
Our brains are way, way more complex than any computer we know how to make. They're way more creative. The input's pretty good, but the output is constrained by our tongues and jaws moving and us typing.
The future of screens isn't about the iPad. It's much, much bigger.
When I joined Google, it was a 1,500-person company, which I thought was huge, since I don't think of myself as a corporate person.
Redirecting sunlight on the earth to the moon gives you enough light so that all of humanity can see.
More of us may be affected by variant hormone levels than we realize.
I have decided to leave Facebook and Oculus to work on curing diseases using some new imaging technologies I've been incubating for awhile.
I designed a system to project video on the moon for all of humanity to see. I did this sort of as therapy as I was doing my Ph.D. in device physics.
All devices should just sip power and be charged like a calculator is, with a small solar cell. No power adaptors. It's easy to put a solar cell into a device, but it's not powerful enough to drive today's cell phones or laptops. They need too much power to run.
I left Google X. All the senior women have left Google X. I was the last to make it - I was, to be fair, the last there. Megan Smith left, Claire Hughes Johnson, vice presidents at Google left.
A lot of people get really seduced by demos of the next display technology. I myself fell under that spell for about 20 years.
There's no more silicon in Silicon Valley. It's all iPhone apps.
I worked on heads-up displays, virtual-reality technology, and holographic displays - all sorts of really cool technology.
I took on the math-intensive art form of holography and, in my early 20s, traveled the world, living on university fellowships to pursue this esoteric craft. I didn't date much, really - perhaps because I didn't have many hormones, though I didn't know that at the time.
As the OLPC laptop was getting ready to go into mass production in 2007, many executives approached me wanting the screen that I invented, and the laptop architecture that I co-invented, for their new laptops, cell phones, and other devices.
I started a company called Pixel Qi and the principal of as we're going, smartphones were happening, but as we go forward, the predictions were five devices per person. Do you want to charge each one of those every night to try to get them on a full charge when you're walking around? Smartphones don't even last a day without a recharge now.
I never stopped dreaming of how to create a wearable to communicate with our thoughts, how to do this at consumer electronics pricing.
After my neurosurgery, part of my brain was missing, and I had to deal with that. It wasn't the grey matter, but it was the gooey part dead center that makes key hormones and neurotransmitters.
Could you imagine if we could leapfrog language and communicate directly with human thought? What would we be capable of then? And how will we learn to deal with the truths of unfiltered human thought? You think the Internet was big. These are huge questions.
