(1) CD collection maker
A popular music product is collection CD, like Hits 99 or Absolute Music 43. With a CD burner and a computer with a CD robot it would be possible to let people create their own collections. These machines could be put in music stores but as well be web accessed.

(3) Underwater Head-Up-Display
To have a Head-Up Display(HUD) in the dive mask would be a very nice way of presenting data, e.g. from the dive computer. There is already some product concepts demonstarating this. Andrew Clayton sent us this mail with some interesting links:
I did some more research on the idea of HUD technology in dive masks. Looks like some people are just slightly ahead of us!! http://www.divernet.com/events/dema98.htm(the Cochran Vision 21 Mask)
Oceanic also has a HUD mask in development that will be for commercial/recreational use. Oceanic has a contract with the US Navy; the Navy is paying part of the development of the technology.
Also, if you are interested, I thought this was an interesting technology that could possible be applied to SCUBA diving: http://www.infoeyetech.com/index.html

(4) Underwater navigator
This is more a project that has not been done. We want some kind of underwater navigation tool. It would be awesome to be able to plot a 3D graph of each dive. How to solve it technically though we don't really know, one idea is to use some kind of beacons or dead-reckoning.

(5) The hitchhikers guide to ...
Similar to Douglas Adams project, H2G2. The idea is to have a number of people traveling around the world. Their task is to find useful information for travelers and they are paid if they submit information, say if one checks in at a hotel in Madrid, that has not been updated lately and submit an update, they get some money for that. These traveling guidewriters each have some sort of mobile computer to write the articles on and a digital camera. The guide should be available to other travelers either as a book or an electronic version, e.g. as an PocketPC application. It would also be possible to create a interesting game, where the task for participants are to find and locate the traveling authors. Have not give a good thought of how to earn money on it though.
