Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology

SixthSense Technology, I thought that this idea was only Harry Potter and 3D in the movie. However, I think that it is phenomenal success if there is really such a thing. Because the world of the movie becomes the reality. This idea may attract attention than it now while iPhone and ipad attract attention. I pay attention to this idea very much. And I want to use it.

Pranav Mistry shows us the power of what a fully Internet enabled, wireless, computing rich world can do. His talk at TED India is just a glimpse of the future. Some say it might be a gimmick. Some might doubt the potential. However, I am encouraged that researchers like him are focusing on how to making technology accessible to the masses, simpler, easier, and more natural to use, anywhere and anytime. Keep up the good work Pranav!
