TIPRON

PROJECTOR ROBOT

Cerevo is the sort of company that takes risks and innovates in an industry where that isn ' t always the case . I ' m not saying in design or ideas ( there are plenty ), but in implementation . So much of tech is a sort of " look at we can do " but it ' s rarely " look what we are doing ." I get emails every single day of really cool ideas that are nothing but PR stunts . This isn ' t to say designers and engineers don ' t want to see their product hit the market , but they often fall when a bunch of suits get involved . So instead of actual innovation you get the 5th iPhone that is nearly identical to what came before .
I say all this because Tipron should not exist . That ' s not a knock on this wild little projector robot , but I say it because its exactly the sort of thing that becomes vaporware in a tech industry that loves the idea of innovations , but not actually going through with them . Tipron looks like a robot buddy pulled straight out of a 1980s science fiction film . You can ' t not see this little guy and not say " cool " which is exactly what everyone that came through the office said . That or they completely freaked out when Tipron started moving about to begin projecting .
