The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology

At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry 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.

The frustrating thing is that this presentation was in 2009, with suggestions then that the software would be open sourced in a month or so. Since then silence. The technology is so persuasive, and does put the flurry about i-- tablets into perspective. The impression I get is either MIT is trying to put something together [not the best hope frankly] or are, even worse, sitting on it.

The really strong link is the positional aware data concept [seen in movies such as Iron Man, though faked] which is also part of the data-wall approach seen with John Underkoffler's work, {Oblong Industries} popularised in Minority Report.

TED John Underkoffler's 2010 Video Note the applause for the 15 year old work again at MIT!
