In this episode of The IoT Radar Wisse met Mitch Altman, Fouder & CEO of Cornfield Electronics. Mitch is a traveller and creator and some of you may know him from TV-B-Gone, a universal remote control to turn off annoying and noisy televisions in public spaces.
In one of his latest art projects, The Lounge Looker, he explores how technology can "calculate our desires" and pair it with a nice piece of lounge music. This is the "serious fun" that can help people think about how the Internet and recognition technologies can put a green square around our face and store that information on the Internet.
Want to know more about Mitch? In 2016 I interviewed him for Circuit Cellar - Inspiring the Evolution of Embedded Design. In this interview he explains how he hacked his own life.
