a true human individual, any ordinary inventor would have started a corporation on this idea, instead he open sources the technology so that EVERYONE can use it. He deserves a Nobel Prize.

"I would like to bring the technology to masses rather than confining it to labs" - awesome

In this video he didn't mention that he is using a phone or laptop (how can his projector show all those reviews and number pad and videos without any source). I am pretty sure his projector is connected with a cell phone or a laptop.

That thing he said about cricket is the most offensive Indian stereotype I've ever encountered.
