From the Ted Talk by Harald Haas: Forget Wi-Fi. Meet the new Li-Fi Internet

Unscramble the Blue Letters


And It really doesn't matter where the beam hits the solar cell. And the same is true for translucent solar cells integrated into windows, solar cells integrated into street furniture, or indeed, solar cells integrated into these billions of devices that will form the Internet of Things. Because smilpy, we don't want to charge these devices rregually, or worse, replace the batteries every few mtohns.

As I said to you, this is the first time I've shown this in pbiluc. It's very much a lab demonstration, a pyttprooe. But my team and I are confident that we can take this to market within the next two to three yaers. And we hope we will be able to couitntrbe to clsnoig the digital divide, and also contribute to connecting all these billions of devices to the Internet. And all of this without causing a massive explosion of energy consumption — because of the solar clels, quite the opposite.

Original Text


And It really doesn't matter where the beam hits the solar cell. And the same is true for translucent solar cells integrated into windows, solar cells integrated into street furniture, or indeed, solar cells integrated into these billions of devices that will form the Internet of Things. Because simply, we don't want to charge these devices regularly, or worse, replace the batteries every few months.

As I said to you, this is the first time I've shown this in public. It's very much a lab demonstration, a prototype. But my team and I are confident that we can take this to market within the next two to three years. And we hope we will be able to contribute to closing the digital divide, and also contribute to connecting all these billions of devices to the Internet. And all of this without causing a massive explosion of energy consumption — because of the solar cells, quite the opposite.
