Sixth sense new technology




Sixth Sense new technology takes a step further in the augmented reality!!!

You really ought to see this video above showing Pranav Mistry demo for what I consider the tomorrow's device.
Actually, it is a wearable device including a camera and a projector that allows one to use any surface as a potential screen or tablet. It combines virtual and real world. More astonishing, you can use you fingers to take pictures or your hands to write mail. This new device reminds me Tom Cruise on "Minority report" film. Though,it is not totally new and sixth sense's inventor has used brevetted technologies that already exist before.
Technology is renewing itself quicker than we could think, and there is no limit to that. The only thing that I reproach to that approach is the human body being materialized. In the next future, this might be completely normal and we won't wonder if it is ethic or not.

  1. Actually I found your article awesome! It is well known that sometimes films may forecast the technological future but also poems such as the Giovanni Pascoli's one (an italian poet) which foreseen the creation of the atomic bomb..

    In any case what scared me the most is in the final part of the video when Pranav Mistry says: " Who Knows, May be in another 10 years will come with the ultimate sixth sense brain inmplant"...

    What about the information of the student we see in the video? what about his privacy?

    I think we should start wondering if it is ethic now...
