The Sixth sense technology blends physical reality and digital world in very creative, intuitive and compelling ways. The prototype of the &#8220;Sixth Sense&#8221; is a wearable, gesture-driven computing platform that can continually augment the physical world with digital information. <BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/> <IMG src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3464\/3254910365_f1caa53d89.jpg?v=0\" \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><IMG src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3373\/3255023235_e6611a9185_o.jpg\" \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/>&#8220;All the work is in the software,&#8221; says Dr Pattie Maes, head of the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT, &#8220;The system is constantly trying to figure out what&#8217;s around you, and what you&#8217;re trying to do. It has to recognize the images you see, track your gestures, and then relate it all to relevant information at the same time.&#8221;<BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/> <IMG src=\"http:\/\/newsimg.bbc.co.uk\/media\/images\/45662000\/jpg\/_45662677_01.jpg\" \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/>The \u201cSixth Sense\u201d will not make us throw away our laptops and smartphones. Probably not anytime soon. Will this change CAD or PLM user interaction? However, this could be a game changer. It is just matter of time before some Silicon Valley geniuses, like Steve Jobs, will package this technology into compelling consumer products that will change our lives!!! <BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/>If you haven\u2019t seen the video I strongly recommend it you see it.<BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><A href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_technology.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_technology.html<\/A><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/>To read and see more pictures and video please visit <BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><A href=\"http:\/\/www.pranavmistry.com\/projects\/sixthsense\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.pranavmistry.com\/projects\/sixthsense\/<\/A><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><BR \/><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I mentioned about the &#8220;Sixth Sense&#8221; technology in the comment section of my previous blog.
