Danny Hillis on Applied Minds
Highlights from notes written when listening to Danny Hillis’ talk at ETech:
Runs a “make tank,” not a think tank. Applied Minds started because Disney Imagineering wasn’t fun. Design, art, technology. Making version 1.0, avoiding to make 2.0. Early prototypes, make a living licensing them. Mix of disciplines: artists, musicians, an astronaut. Projects for fun, bait for real customers.
