GE on Demand at the Edison’s Desk exhibit

There’s lots going on at NEXTFEST Saturday. It’s the second day that the exhibit is open to the public and the crowds are huge!! Some of my earlier day 2 highlights are women’s high heel shoe with a GPS locator and a video screen on the bottom that projects video! The next generation soldiers gear has technology that can tell where a soldier has been shot; and infrared video technology built into the helmet.

A shameless plug; the GE “Edison’s Desk” is running a video feed for GE on Demand, a podcast series of GE scientists providing glimpses into their labs. Like the whole scientist exhibit, its drawing great crowds. Yeah scientists!
