Welcome to JohnDas FunDas & Ideas

Pranav Mistry, now in MIT media labs has developed a few projects all of which are brilliant concepts and thinks that any gadget loving dude or dudette would just love.

One of those projects was presented in TED – the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference.

‘SixthSense’ is 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. By using a camera and a tiny projector mounted in a pendant like wearable device, ‘SixthSense’ sees what you see and visually augments any surfaces or objects we are interacting with. It projects information onto surfaces, walls, and physical objects around us, and lets us interact with the projected information through natural hand gestures, arm movements, or our interaction with the object itself. ‘SixthSense’ attempts to free information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer.
