2/17/15 Sixth Sense Technology



        I learned from watching this the opportunity to make the digital world and the real world part of the same world is not as far away as one might think. For example, Pranav Mistry created a way for the computer to scan his hand motions and create the picture on the screen. He kept going as well, he created a pen that allowed you to digitally create a 3D model on the screen. He soon adapted the idea to create a head piece that allowed you to see things in your daily life by  wearing a helmet that projected an image and could sense you photos. This leading Mistry to the Sixth sense technology, a camera he wears around his neck and allows him to take photos with his finger, drag documents and call people using any flat surface. But even with all this good there is one drawback such as the lack of privacy. With having your information on any wall you are giving people the opportunity to see things you may not want others to see.
