In the late 90s, I worked on the IrDA infrared connectivity technology. My team built the protocol stacks that shipped with Windows CE and Windows 2000 and descendents, and I was an advocate of the technology within Microsoft. IrDA is a success. It continues to be useful as simple way to transfer files and contacts between devices and PCs, and to use phones as modems. That said, the thing I was most passionate about failed. I wanted to create the most seamless experience for moving photos between digital cameras and PCs. Keep in mind that 8 years ago, it was trivial to draw a crowd by taking a digital camera to the zoo. And my internal demo of a pre-production digital camera beaming images to Windows NT5 was very cool indeed. | ||
