Policymakers, academics, advocates and CPOs need to see and experience the new technologies that are using data in novel ways in order to understand how to navigate the privacy issues. To help, The Future of Privacy Forum is building out a tech lab at our new offices. We will open it at a reception for our members and policymakers during IAPP Global. Already you will be able to:

- Fly a mini-drone
- Chat with Hello Barbie
- Tell Alexa what to do
- Navigate BB-8 around the room
- See how Euclid tracks the phones in our space
- Outsmart our smart home gadgets
- Experience virtual reality
-Test facial detection technology

We are shopping for an affordable robot and have our eye on Jibo when it is released. What are we missing? We would like a service that works with IBM's Watson, and we are planning on some Beacons, but what else would be useful? What other technologies are being deployed that would be educational and useful to set up and understand better? Thoughts welcome!

Jules Polonetsky is CEO of the Future of Privacy Forum, an incubator for innovative privacy thinking.
