The device itself is amazing, but I am truly impressed by the variety of software that the team working on this has put together. This device seems to demonstrate the power of augmented reality to change the way we work with computers in many aspects of daily life. I can't wait to see what is done when it goes open source.

The future of this kind of technology I think will be based more on glasses with built in displays rather than projectors though. Both will be important, but it seems that the privacy, as well as stereoscopic 3D in glasses will make them much more practical.

This post is very informative. This guy is a genius! This article about him at MIT Technology Review. Opportunities for this technology are endless, just imagine what it could do in medicine, only by examining patients' medical information can immediately get information about drug allergies or conflicts without lug around a computer. :)

A boon for many obvious reasons. An inevitable headache for legislators who have already argued over laws for texting and driving. For example, someone's going to put your GPS on your windshield, and the rest you know.
 

1. What is Pranav Mistry's Sixth Sense technology?

Pranav Mistry's Sixth Sense technology is a wearable device that combines a camera, projector, and sensors to create an augmented reality experience. It allows users to interact with digital content in the real world using hand gestures and movements.

2. What are the potential applications of Sixth Sense technology?

Sixth Sense technology has the potential to be used in a variety of fields, including education, healthcare, entertainment, and communication. It can also enhance everyday tasks such as shopping, cooking, and navigation.

3. How does Sixth Sense technology work?

Sixth Sense technology works by using a camera to capture the user's surroundings, then projecting relevant digital content onto any surface using a miniature projector. The sensors in the device track the user's hand gestures and movements to interact with the projected content.

4. What are the benefits of using Sixth Sense technology?

Some potential benefits of using Sixth Sense technology include increased efficiency, improved accessibility, and enhanced learning experiences. It can also bridge the gap between the physical and digital world, making technology more seamless and integrated into our daily lives.

5. Are there any concerns about using Sixth Sense technology?

As with any new technology, there may be concerns about privacy and security when using Sixth Sense. Additionally, there may be a learning curve for users to become comfortable with using hand gestures and movements to interact with digital content in the real world.
