SITEX 2016 (Updated)

Again, there are new technologies being shown off at the roadshows like SITEX. It features things like Internet of Things, online marketplaces, digital membership, E-commerce, as well as educational games. Another discovery included the HP Sprout Pro PC and it looked like nobody gave a crap about although there was one negative thing I discovered, Virtual DJ in HP Sprout Pro? What were they thinking when that computer was supposed to be for enterprise and educational uses? Also, the touchscreen interface was complex to be frank and it put the mobile DJ software apps to SHAME. That is more or less a real disadvantage of using the software for educational purposes. Not to mention that who the hell uses that as a child? In fact, no DJ schools can teach people on how to use that computer to DJ because the idea of using touchscreen to DJ is an inferior and half-assed one. Sure, a professional DJ set may be complex looking with tons of features but the virtual DJ set via the touchscreen interface was already confusing enough for me when I saw Virtual DJ in that computer. There's also Crayola DJ but I don't know if that is suited for children or not. So, that's 3 disadvantages Virtual DJ has for HP Sprout Pro. It's not for enterprise use, its interface is complex enough to turn you off like you may need to get used to, and who as a child wants to use a professional DJ software like this? In fact, Virtual DJ SHOULDN'T be in HP Sprout Pro or any other enterprise computer AT ALL!
On the positive side of HP Sprout Pro, it has the touch-mat along with the Realsense 3D camera where it can scan real-life objects and turn them into 3D models. The Creators Update of Windows 10 should be able to help out with that computer that easily and it can also be useful for other enterprise and educational stuffs as well.
There's the eber.co digital membership. It's kind of like getting a membership for buying stuffs from whichever shop but digital. It minimizes the needs for physical cards as your membership cards are all digital.
There's also the online marketplace you can create with Arcadier where you can sell whatever stuffs you want.
Lastly, the educational game called Neeuro Memorie. I do have the educational game on my Android called Elevate where you can train your brain although it's a side part of your life and your learning progress is really slow that way. Memorie is designed for elders as far as I was told but it can be suited for everyone besides elders and children. There are tons of mini-games to play through although certain of which will require the Neeuro Senzeband. The only way to get that device out of the event will be online. None of the shopping complexes will probably sell that. It costs around $2XX when being shown at SITEX and it can be more expensive after the event. It is required to determine your brain. You can also unlock premium features which unlocks the rest of the levels. Some of the mini-games were fascinating enough for me like Sushi Recall which is kind of like Bishi-Bashi with memory or some kind and Stargazer which made me imagine that Cloba.U would make a game called Star Memorizer or something. Another mini-game I had fun was Multi-task Master and I could recommend doing two things at the same time although some parts were already becoming obstacles against multi-tasking. Perhaps, musicians, DJs and producers can improve their coordination that way with that mini-game but it may be an unnecessary improvement as they can improve their brain the other ways. Needless to say, this educational game requires Android 5.0 and above and none of my Android devices are suited for it. The way you wear the device is unlike wearing a headphone and it tracks and records your brain activity. For IOS users, you will need IOS 8.0 and above. I was told that there will be updates to the app in the future with additional mini-games and multiplayer support.
