Talks Pattie Maes & Pranav Mistry: Unveiling the “Sixth Sense,” game-changing wearable tech

Shes’ a bit hung-up on using google to buy toilet paper, but here is some new ‘wearable’ technology.

And the porn implications are still to be determined… :laughing:

And I thought this was going to be about wanking… silly me. :wanker:

i think it might be a “good idea” but umm…seems very limited…especially when you consider you will only have access to the information in lower light conditions or conditions where you can have somewhere to project an image onto it. Might be good ground work for something waaay more advanced in another 5-10 years.

But for having another piece of equipment to carry around, I think I will stick with a smart phone with custom tailored applications to do the things I want, which appear to be exactly what this system is, just with a different interface. It bypasses the need for you to actually pull out your cell phone and then adds the need for 4 different colors of fingernail polish.

I would be totally impressed if they did this similar thing with some sunglasses and maybe implemented a BCI (brain to computer interface) as the input device (i did a almost 30 page research paper on this for my cognitive neuroscience class and we are not as far form it as yo might think). One thing a crackberry or other smartphone will have that this technology will not, is the ability to be discrete. If you want to know more about someone its far simpler and discrete to look at their facebook on a smartphone than to project their facebook onto their shirt, which may or may not be a compatible color or design to display the information.

all in all its still impressive, but I don’t think as a portable device it will be as useful as many would hope.

This is sooo cool! I can’t tell you how much I have been awaiting the day I no longer have to think any longer. My brain’s days are now numbered! :discodance:

My brain’s been on borrowed time for years.

It’s pretty cool, though. It’s even more exciting than when relief engraving was developed by Blake and his contemporaries in eighteenth century London!
