Pranav Mistry

Att our MIT lab, there are people from diverse backgrounds like architecture, psychology, and philosophy, giving a holistic touch to the creation of any technology we may have in mind.

I want to impact the world through futuristic yet affordable technologies to make the world a better place.

Had I wanted, I could have set up my own company, secured funding, and made money. That proposition, however, does not excite me, since it would be a very self-centric goal.

What we strive for is how we can provide the best performance and best design, whatever the customers want.

Our time is a time for crossing boundaries.

I am not interesting in making money. I go to the most expensive restaurant in Boston to have dinner. It is where billionaires come to eat. Even if I become richer, I will still have to go there to eat. After some time, money doesn't make a difference.

My lab is like a fantasy world - it is more like a 'James Bond' movie!

Exposure to fields like design to technology and from art to psychology gave me a quite nice/interesting viewpoint to the world.

I love to see technology from a design perspective and vice versa. I am a 'Desigineer.'

My life's goal is to get rid of computers and invent everything that removes its necessity.

When you talk about objects, one other thing automatically comes attached to that thing, and that is gestures: how we manipulate these objects, how we use these objects in everyday life. We use gestures not only to interact with these objects, but we also use them to interact with each other.

I'm not a very big fan of science fiction. I think that I'm a very big fan of living in the physical world.
