INTERFACE: Sixth Sense
Pranav Mistry, Research Assistant and PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab, has developed a prototype for a new computing environment integrating physical objects in the digital realm and vice versa, through the use of video and gestures.
In this TED talk he gives us a glimpse of the possibilities inherent in the Sixth Sense technology.
I draw immediate associations to the works of Myron Krueger in his VIDEOPLACE installation back in the 70′s, and the many virtual reality applications of the early 90′s. This guy, however, is bringing out the best of the worlds. Usable, simple and non-restricted.
Enjoy!
