At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry, a Ph.D. student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT’s Media Lab, demoed SixthSense, a device that allows interactions between the physical world and the world of data. Take a moment and watch Mistry’s talk — great stuff.

Cool technology and Pranav is awesome for making it open source. Thanks for posting this Om.
Glad you like it. This can truly have interesting long term implications.
This is truly the future of portable information, getting away from the device and focusing in on the content, it looks simple (but of course it is not) Thank you Om for the post, Steve.

Glad to see you enjoyed the video. I will make sure I find interesting videos and share with you all.
Om,
First of all , Thanks.
Its was indeed great stuff.
The guy is smart and humble.
Which is the formula for success. I hope the open source will help improvise the technology.
Please share similar interesting tech videos.
Glad you liked the video. I will make sure I share any interesting videos I find. Best
I had the distinct pleasure of seeing SixthSense showcased at this year’s MIT EmTech conference. Probably the most inspired (and inspiring) effort that I’ve seen toward taking the web out of devices and into the world at large.
If anyone is interested, we actually posted our thoughts on SixthSense last night, at Latitude Research’s Life-Connected blog: http://ff.im/-cc0gM
Thanks, Om, for showcasing a really wonderful technology.
I linked to the video at my personal site, this morning, Om – giving credit to a certain Mr. Malik.
The bloody piece is so interesting, my wife was late getting out the door to her own IS gig – we got so involved discussing these uses of technology.
Thanks much.
Fascinating tech. I am very much reminded of the interfaces on the movie Minority Report.
Superb! Great man with great ideas. Salute to feelings for common man.
Incredible, I think the device would change how the way we interact with world of data. Yeah, the physical world and world of data are different each other, but it’d can be merged some day.
