Sixth Sense Technology – Suggest you don’t miss this

When this video started and I heard this guy speak, I was like, he speaks funny. But a few minutes through the video, I was belittled by the kind of things this guy had done in his life and made me wonder how much he had contributed not only to technology but to mankind on the whole. This is one person we are talking about who has literally altered the life of 6 billion people and all the future generations.

Pranav Mistry, is a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT’s Media Lab. Before his studies at MIT, he worked with Microsoft as a UX researcher; he’s a graduate of IIT. Mistry is passionate about integrating the digital informational experience with our real-world interactions.

At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.
