Last month I watched this TED Talk live (from Sun) and then ran down to lunch and tried to describe what I had seen to my lunch crowd. Pattie Maes & Pranav Mistry from MIT have created the "Sixth Sense", a really cool wearable computer device that has a camera and projector so it can see what you see and project information to you.
Watch the TED Talk yourself, and/or, read what I found exciting below the video!
The "Sixth Sense" can project images and then watch your hands, so:
* it can show you a keyboard (on a desk), and you can type,
* it can show you a cell phone keypad (on your palm?), and you can dial,
* it can show you some photos (on a wall perhaps) and you can use your hands to move them around on the wall, make them bigger, smaller, trash them, email them,...
The "Sixth Sense" also sees what you see, so:
* it can see WHAT you are looking at in a store, and then project information about the product
* it can see WHO you are looking at, and project information about that person (on that person!?)
What do you think?! Cool?!
