Can you think of a situation when your five senses did not allow you to make an informed decision? Well, I can... and thus heavily rely on my iPhone to provide me with additional information every day.
Ever heard of Sixth Sense?
Pranav Mistry, from MIT, developed a revolutionary device for augmented reality.
The concept is simple... wear the interface around your neck and use simple hand gestures to interact - in a very natural manner - with the information projected on any surface of your world to augment it with all the relevant information.
There are many applications, among which:
Need the time? Lift your arm, the way you would do to look at your watch, draw a circle on wrist, and Sixth Sense projects a clock.
Don't know which brand of soap to purchase at the supermarket? Lift the product, and Sixth Sense will project a green, yellow or red light, based on your own purchasing criteria.
Catching a plane? Bring your plane ticket out, and Sixth Sense automatically retrieves updates such as delays or gate changes.
