Huck's design of the Dekko monkey really connected with people and they loved it.

Silka did a lot of research and user testing of various ideas for our Dekko monkey back in 2010.

Lots of good Tango demos of this, our Dekko r/c jumping off physical ramps, the Magic Leap little robot under the desk are all examples.

At Dekko we built this amazing little monkey character that people loved, but they had no idea what to do with a little monkey on the table.
|
|
Our Dekko r/c car solved this by having the phone be the r/c controller, which has a direct analog in real life, so it made sense to people.

We eventually figured this out at Dekko, where we started off trying to build a game with structured levels and difficulty, but ended up with a toy car that could just drive around anywhere.

Dekko is currently working on augmented reality apps for Android and Google Glass.

Dick is used as a slang term for detective, as in "Hiring a private dick to help locate her natural mother" (The Guardian, 1999, cited by Green, 2008). This meaning may derive from the Gipsy slang dekko, dekker from Romany dik, to look).

It's an original idea executed in a gripping language. Worth a dekko for its suspenseful aura." Rohit Vats from IBN7 gave Maazii a rating of 4/5 stars and was all praises for the film. He claimed that Maazii shows "a glimpse of the latent potential of the gangster genre" and was "not to be missed" India Today's Faheem Ruhani mentioned in his review that "Director Jaideep Chopra's debut directorial Maazii is that pleasant surprise which hits you once in a while.

Aside from the obvious British legacy, Landour has a thick vein of Americana too, with American missionaries having had a strong footing in the town since the 1830s, when the policy changes introduced by the English administrator Lord Macaulay prompted the rapid growth of American missions across India, particularly those of the Presbyterian and Baptist churches. Generations of American missionary children (see Third Culture Kids) were educated at Woodstock School and/or born in Landour (see John Birch, below). Of late, their descendants have been deeming a dekko worthwhile. Nowadays, many young Americans on gap years or on exchange programs spend time learning Hindi at the popular Landour Language School, which was founded in the late 19th century to teach newly arrived missionaries.
