Based on such creations, Technology Review 2008 named Dr. Lee as one of the world’s top 35 innovators under the age of 35. The review lauds his ability to find new high-tech uses for existing electronics that help people beat the high cost of technology. The September issue of Technology Review features Dr. Lee and the other “TR35 Young Innovators,” who will be honored Sept. 23-25 during the EmTech08 Conference in Cambridge, Mass. “When the Nintendo Wii came out, most people saw a fun new way to play video games,” the review’s online entry for Dr. Lee states. “Johnny Lee saw a surprisingly good infrared camera that could make innovative computer interfaces affordable.” Read On HERE No tags for this post.

Well, let’s get started on the story mod... more
