You could make a smartwatch with a camera facing up from the screen. The user could bring their palm to their chest (so watchface faces out) to activate it. Then the camera can see forward and the microphone is close to the user. And then y

I would think that your phone could request audio messages from the sender only when necessary. They already sync things like your DND status to show others so this would just be another flag. Messages could also then alert the sender that

1. The merchant tells them the amount and there's a QR code on the box to scan. 2. Within seconds. When I paid while over there it was 2 - 5 seconds. It doesn't say who the money is from though. 3. The merchant has to check their

It costs Square money (card network costs) to refund a transaction. It's not a penalty, it's just costs associated with moving money. Even if the money is moving the other way, there's still a cost.

Yes but intruding into private audio calls is something users would be heavily suspicious of. It's not hard to imagine a non technical users thinking "OMG they're showing me ads based on my calls". Lots of people already

Yes, but in the cases you mentioned the user is interacting with the same pane of glass. In this case, the user's interaction is voice, not the screen. Also not to mention that calls are very private. And the impression it gives to con

It's actually not too difficult. The camera turret has incredibly precise GPS and knows exactly what angle it's at. With that, it's pretty straightforward to figure out where it's pointing at on the ground, grab the rele

Power companies will just switch to charging a high monthly grid interconnect fee. And people will pay because no one wants to "run out of power". This is already proposed to happen in California: https://www.solarrevie
