Pranav Mistry who became a global sensation with his futuristic Sixth Sense technology in the past and recently came to the fore yet again while launching Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch, does not want to be dubbed as a gadget guru. The 32-year-old hailing from a small town of Gujarat now heads the Samsung's Think Tank Team and is the director of Research, Samsung Research America.
Although working on augmented reality, display technologies, futuristic television, mobiles, robotics apart from involved with Hollywood sci-flicks at the moment, Mistry is impatient to unravel the next big thing after digital revolution, he tells ET's Shramana Ganguly over a teleconference from US. Excerpts:
ET: You have climbed the ladder pretty early in life. Where do you see yourself five years down the line?
PM: Five years is a long time. I want to impact the world through futuristic yet affordable technologies to make the world a better place. I head the Samsung Think Tank Team at the moment. My lab is like a fantasy world - it is more like a James Bond movie! I connect to the world virtually now. I work on amazing gadgets. If I get a role to play, I would like to lead India's IT division.
