Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry demo SixthSense | Video on TED.com

I love the idea of the Heads-Up Display (HUD) as seen in the Iron Man comics, cartoons, and movies! Turns out that such technology is not that far away. Such tech was also imagined in the Minority Report. It's a brave new world, people.







There does exist an iPhone App that mimics the effect but I can't find any version of it for Android devices but I wish I could!

Maximum PC | Future Interfaces: 15 Peripherals Straight Out of Science Fiction

This is a great article. 15 of the newest technologies that may replace the computer keyboards and mouse. Look at the whole article. Here is my favorite one:

SixthSense - MIT Media Lab

Pranav Mistry may have one of the coolest names around, but he's also a total genius. Mistry, a PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab, spurs the invention of way cool PC-killing stuff. His most acclaimed innovation to date? "Sixth Sense," a "wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information."
