Security
Myris uses video of your iris to verify your identity.
As a product, Myris is bulky, lacks usability, and reviewers have identified software kinks that need to be worked out.
BUT we love idea! Data from our online lives is being breached and unfortunately there are way too many passwords
are easily cracked; – use of biometrics provides unique identifiers that are almost hack proof. We hope Myris works
out the kinks! Biometrics connects security to safekeeping.

Robots
ROBOTS! Everywhere! The adorable Ecovacs robot makes cleaning less tedious.
Ecovacs robotics are created in the RIGHT way! Robots that clean your floors, windows, air, protect your home
and have an unassuming presence will be more widely accepted by the general population. Giving robots
familiar features like eyes, arms, torsos, and especially emotion will create resistance to adopting the idea of robots.
Robots creating purposeful connections to our lives and needs.
