This is Crazy Tech stuff, MUST SEE!

He going to be next Bill Gate and Steve Jobs of India.

Pranav Mistry is the inventor of SixthSense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data.

At TEDIndia, he 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.

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.

Some previous projects from Mistry's work at MIT includes intelligent sticky notes, Quickies, that can be searched and can send reminders; a pen that draws in 3D; and TaPuMa, a tangible public map that can act as Google of physical world. His research interests also include Gestural and Tangible Interaction, Ubiquitous Computing, AI, Machine Vision, Collective Intelligence and Robotics.

Yay for open-sourcing. Hopefully Apple doesn't jump on this and turn it into their own product, only to claim they were the first to make up this technology. That would be disrespectful. Open-source shouldn't have a (huge) price, and if Apple decides to make this their own and price it for over $1000... well.. that's just ridiculous.

This would be very cool if it were marketed - bare bones - right now. As it stands, it's probably going to be so long in development that it'll be superceded by something else or will just be forgotten as another gimmicky idea which failed to secure the financial backing it shot for.

Sadly, that's probably what's going to end up happening to it.

It's a good idea though and should be worked on more. They are going to need better tracking tech, better projector and of course better and faster camera.

I saw this presentation a while back and thought it was fascinating. If any of you people use Facebook, you can become a fan of TED. They post new talks fairly regularly.

I saw that earlier. I'm not a fan of the actual projection, but I'm sure that in a couple of years they'll design contact lenses or glasses that will replace it.
