The Real Sixth Sense

Wow. First it was the holographic interview at CNN. Then comes this ultimate "virtual hub" to juggle all of a person's gadgets and data.


It's amazing what technology can offer to us now. I just came across this article about an MIT graduate student who gets known the world over because of this revolutionary ‘Sixth Sense’ device he created. As the article goes:

"Dr. Pattie Maes, Director of the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab and Pranav Mistry, a graduate student within the same group, have developed 'Sixth Sense', a wearable device that presents the user with a revolutionary way to interact with the world. Sixth Sense enables the wearer to summon data or virtual gadgets, such as a watch or mobile phone, interact with these virtual objects and dispose of them at will. The device, which premiered at the TED conference last month (to a standing ovation), will be demonstrated at ACM's Computer-Human Interaction (CHI) conference on Tuesday, April 7th at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts, USA."
