Anna Bancroft, Project List, 1/30/2012 | ||||
| 1. How can we reduce obesity? | Could something like a portable insulin level monitor help? | |||
| 2. Improved Contact Lenses. | Why aren't there transition contact lenses? | |||
| 3. Learning and Pregnancy. | What prompts the swift increase in learning capacity (synapse formation) during pregnancy and shortly thereafter? Do similar effects occur on BCPs? Could the biological conditions be created at other times/ for men? | |||
| 4. Extreme Take-out. | What if the people in Ethiopia could order food on the internet? | |||
| 5. Improved Bandaids. | How could bandaids hurt less on removal? Is there a safe/non-annoying way to make them dissolvable? | |||
| 6. Edible Disposables. | How can disposables be more eco-friendly? Edible Styrofoam-like material? "my drink cup is cherry-flavored!" | |||
| 7. Low Gravity. | What could low gravity do for medical treatments? | |||
| 8. Omni-tred. | Can we prompt Americans to lose weight by giving them more physical video gaming? Omni-tred: the Virtual Reality Human Hamster Ball to play all your favorite MMOs and FPSs while getting in your cardio. | |||
| 9. Smart Pantry/Fridge/etc. | What if there was an app that calculated your food/good usage, tracked how much you had, and sent an order out for whatever you need to be delivered to your doorstep? | |||
| 10. Channel pod. | Makeup takes a long time to apply; could the Channel pod from the 5th element really be created? Perhaps with small depth camera (like Kinect), facial point recognition software, and replaceable cartridges to change colors. | |||
