Harry Potter Me and a startup
I cannot deny it, I am a fan of Harry Potter from the very first day I read the first book. (It was actually Goblet of Fire for me :) and not the Philosophers stone)
The whole idea of a magical place is very fascinating to me, the hidden train station , flying car, parents memory album etc, The thing which strikes me most is how close are we in technology right now to actually have all those magical ideas turn to reality
I am particularly impressed with the photo/video album
there is no doubt it is the most personalized and sweetest gift you can give to someone .. And I think that would be my first startup idea too. Photos are personal and last for ever but sometimes they cannot capture the whole experience a video can provide. why do we need this
1) There are lot of people who are not tech savvy and sending video messages works but they cannot watch it "at will" and it is not personal ..
2) A Digital photo frame is a good solution for that but it keeps repeating itself and again need a setup to see, doesnt work out of the box have to on it and stuff ..
3) The experience I want to provide is exactly how Harry Potter would have felt looking at his parents video , listening to there voices just by opening a diary/album.
That experience and feeling I think is irreplaceable. I will update more about the technological challenges and cost factor about such a product.
