Sixth Sense System Might Become Commercial
This is something I have been thinking of owning. You operating a computer system from/with your sixth sense. Pretty cool eh? MIT student Pranav Mistry wants everyone to build it themselves to enjoy it instead of marketing it and waiting for the market to accept it.
Pranav doesn’t want his invention to comply with some ‘corporate policy’ and wants people to immediately start working on their own sixth sense prototypes.
The sixth sense system consists of a camera and projector that will hang around your neck. The camera which is connected to a PC with internet connection will record your hand gestures and acts accordingly.
Pranav promises that the Sixth Sense system will be available fully licensed in the coming months in the market as a software. In his words,
“I notice that it’s hard to for these kind of things to market in some sense. . . because I don’t want this to comply with some of kind of corporate policy. Rather than waiting for that time to come, I want people to make their own system. Why not?
People will be able to make their own hardware. I will give them instructions how to make it. And also provide them key software…give them basic key software layers. . . they will be able to build their own applications. They will be able to modify base level and do anything”.
$350 is all that is going to cost you for this device. This device from Pranav literally puts the internet on your finger tips.
oh my god, that is pretty owesome!!!
Sixth sense? What happened to all your other senses? Why does half the world continue to refer (sometimes indirectly) to five senses when surely everyone now knows there are many more than the five they teach in primary school? What happened to sense of temperature, sense of balance, sense of distance, sense of time etc. etc.
Please shutup, Paul.
@Doug
Noyou.
Besides, it’s not a sixth sense if it’s just motion sensing like on the Wii.
A bunch of morons
Paul you idiot, sense of temperature is nothing more than touch, and sense of balance, distance, and time are all different combinations of the other basic senses acting together.
