Idea: The Wall Of/Off Topic!

Something like a digital picture frame that listens in on your conversation using fairly crappy (crappier the funnier the results) voice recognition to try to get a gist of what you’re talking about. Whatever the topic, it would show relevant pictures and video (probably muted) about whatever it heard.

It could use youtube, flickr, google image search, etc.

Ideally, it wouldn’t listen very well and get the topic wrong…resulting in lol’s rather than serious’s. You can imagine some pretty awkward and funny pictures that would show up. Maybe it could show a little label of what it heard and what it searched for.

Update: Decided sleep was overrated, so put it together tonight. Just uses random pictures from the first google images result page. I think videos would be funniest, especially when people would start talking about what you just said. Might be funny to use collections of news clips so it looked like the news was related to whatever you were talking about (most word hits, something like that).
