Belive it or not... Unveiling the "Sixth Sense"
It's a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Pranav Mistry a MIT grad student is the genius behind Sixth Sense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data. Pranav Mistry is a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT's Media Lab. Before his studies at MIT, he worked with Microsoft as a UX researcher. Mistry is passionate about integrating the digital informational experience with our real-world interactions. Some previous projects from Mistry's work at MIT includes intelligent sticky notes, Quickies, that can be searched and can send reminders; a pen that draws in 3D; and TaPuMa, a tangible public map that can act as Google of physical world. His research interests also include Gestural and Tangible Interaction, Ubiquitous Computing, AI, Machine Vision, Collective Intelligence and Robotics. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/pattie_maes_demos_the_sixth_sense.html *Some comments* - Pranav...I was stunned, speech less and spellbound to see the demo. It was one of happiest moment in my life. Good luck to you. Continue to think, you can make wonders. My request to you is please visit educational instituions in India especially rural India and give free lectures, you are such a source of inspiration. Believe me, you can ignite the minds of millions of kids in our country....I really wish you do this... Kumaran M Sundaram - It's great. But I'm confused about one thing: how does it get the information of ordinary people? Where does the database come from? - As a design student this shocks me terribly; when people can casually refer to trusted site and reviewers before they make a purchase, that means the whole point of advertisement will be rendered obsolete and literally ruin people related to this industry and profession, unless it manages to evolve into something else different. - With new technology there are foreseeable and unforeseeable impact no matter positive or negative they are. I hope those responsible for the development of these new technology learn how to tread carefully here, unlike their predecessors. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal.
