SixthSense: The revolutionary invention from MIT Media Lab !

Pattie Maes has unveiled the SixthSense project at TED’2009 which is an annual conference that has the mission of spreading unique innovations,
the SixthSense project is a wearable mobile device that has a projector, this device is just magical in the way it can interact with the extern world, yes, I’m not kidding it can recognize some of your gestures and do appropriate actions, for example, you don’t need to hold you phone to take a picture, you can do it just by making a gesture by your hands.

Moreover this smart device allows you to make better decisions in the way it recognizes the product you’re buying in the market and provide you with information about them and whether they are convenient to you, it does this by googling them on the fly, it’s applicable to a bunch of other stuff, like watching videos related to the article you’re reading in newspaper, getting book’s infos from Amazon by just picking the books on your hands, magical !
It does all this by projecting information on surfaces, so everything is a light, and you don’t have to touch your device ! Another stuff, this projected light is sensitive to your touches ! You can dial a number from a projected keypad !

I can say that this invention has impressed me a big deal, the genious behind this system is Pranav Mistry, who’s a Phd student at MIT, congratulations ! You guys are making the IT future. I let you with Pattie Maes introducing SixthSense at TED, this video is a must-see, really !

It’s a new era in the world of human-machine interaction ! The current prototype of SixthSense costs 350$, that should lower down the road.
