I am amazed with the technology that already exists in this world and I believe that if we can imagine it, we can make it happen. However, sometimes even I get blown away with what we are already capable of.
In this video you will meet Pranav Mistry. The inventor of SixthSense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data. This video is from www.ted.com
TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design.
This video is from 2009 and as you probably just heard at the end of the video, Pranav said that he was going to make all his software open-source. So where is it? Well it appears that the big corporations may have made an offer that was to hard to refuse. I have read that shortly after this video was made available, Pranav got hired by Microsoft.
Which makes sense when you watch the next video, that shows Microsoft's vision for 2019.
It is a little sad that it was never made publicly available. However, I am still happy that all his research is still going to become a reality for all of us.
What are your thoughts on these videos and what the future may hold for us? Leave your comments or creative responses below.
