In the future we will all have the "Sixth Sense"

What do you get when you combine a smart phone, a tiny projector, and a camera?  Seamless access to information that makes the iphone seem quaint. There is no simple way to describe what the "Sixth Sense" is.  The Sixth Sense website states it's "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."  In other words, it's a cool gadget that brings to life the gesture-based interfaces of Minority Report. To really appreciate the amazing capabilities of this technology, you must watch the video below.  If you have the time, watch the whole video for an explanation by Pattie Maes. If not, go to minute 3:00, where Pranav Mistry—the MIT student who developed the Sixth Sense—shows how it works.

Wow. This is amazing.

This new lens technology might work well with the "sixth sense" system: Inside These Lenses, a Digital Dimension

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. In a way, it reminds me a bit of the scene in "Iron Man" where the character reached into 3D images of the armor, and then removed what he didn't want.
Wow this is just like Tom Cruise in Minority Report. I wonder when this technology is going to be in homes and office nation wide. It would be cool to see the migration to that.
