Wilson:

I first imagine a smart phone, with the touch screen wrapped around a bounce ball.

The actual concept is a smart bounce ball, with a touch and pressure sensitive surface, and also accelerometers and a microphone. The ball learns from the user movements and identify him from the way he bounces, tap and slide fingers in it. And also from the tunes the user sing while playing with the ball. During daily use, the ball will be able to record it’s user behavior, so will know when it’s taken from him, or lost.

You can replace any password or identification token you use with this ball. The way you handle, touch, bounce and sing or talk will be your unique id. So Wilson could replace your house or car keys, credit card and user password in any place.

But the main idea is use Wilson as a geolocation device, every time you bounce the ball in one place, you will automatically check-in in all your previously synced with the ball. This is the way it will also uses to never get lost.
