Is anybody solving really cool problems anymore?
roundsquare: For laundry, why not automate at least a part of it?  I'm sure you can build a device above your laundry machine where you can toss your clothes.  Once it gets above a certain weight, it can dump your clothes into the machine and trigger something else to add detergent and maybe something to push some buttons to start the thing.About getting it in the dryer and folding it... I'm not sure, but surely you can come up with something to do part of the work for you.I think the immersive VR bit is being worked on, but its slow going.  I see Avatar as a step in the right direction.  One necessary condition for this will be to get proper 3D.  Once we can speed up that process, we'll be almost there.Other stuff... I dunno.
