SIXTH SENSE: GESTURE, OBJECT, KNOWING, BONDING

Ahh. I confess: I have been going through an intoxicating TED overdose. First I got excited reading about the recently announced TED 2010 Fellows, whom I am tremendously eager to meet in a couple of months. Then, on Thursday, I got sent my first official TED Senior Fellow plane ticket. Sí sí sí:  February at Long Beach. Should be mind-blowing, once again…

And so, while a certain post-TED countdown and another pre-TED countdown occupy my head, I have been diving into the new videos: do take a look at the one above if you have not yet.

Says their website:

“Pranav Mistry is the MIT grad student behind Sixth Sense, a tool that connects the physical world with the world of data. He and his advisor at the MIT Media Lab, Pattie Maes, unveiled Sixth Sense at TED2009, and the Sixth Sense demo premiered yesterday on TED.com — and in both places, it has fired people’s imaginations.”

(You can also read a TED Q&A with Pranav.)

(And our dear Black, from the MIT Media Lab, if you are telekinetically present: would you care to comment about the Sixth Sense, as you did before? Unos meses más tarde, cómo se ve la cosa…)

DEVELOPING A SIXTH SENSE

Pattie Maes– head of  MIT Media Lab’s new Fluid Interfaces, a group that researches the tools people use to work with information and connect with one another–presents a new device that blows the mind and completely changes the way we can relate to the world.

(Dear Señor Blackaller from the MIT Media Lab, if you are reading this, can you tell us if it is as amazing as it sounds?)
