Pranav Mistry - The SixthSense Technology

'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.

Mouseless - an invisible mouse
​

'Mouseless' is an invisible computer mouse that provides the familiarity of interaction of a physical mouse without actually needing a real hardware mouse. Despite the advances in computing hardware technologies, the two-button computer mouse has remained the predominant means to interact with a computer.


TeleTouch
​

TeleTouch lets you touch and control from far. See thru your smartphone's camera and control EVERYTHING you see on the screen by touching it. Now you can interact with your appliances from far, in a fun way. Here it goes. You look at a scene thru the camera of your smartphone and control what you see - home appliances (TV, alarm, music player, … ), Open the door; or turn on that light… Just by touching it on screen. It’s simple. TeleTouch lets you interact with your world with touch, but now from far.

SPARSH - Touch the Cloud
​

Moving a video link from a mobile screen to a larger digital display

So, what can you do with SPARSH? Imagine you received a text message from a friend with his address. You touch the message and it is conceptually get copied in you - your body. Now you pass that address to the search bar of the Google map in the web browser of your laptop by simply touching it. Want to see some pictures from your digital camera on your tablet computer? Select the pictures you want to copy by touching them on camera display screen and now pass it to your tablet by touching the screen of the tablet. Or you can watch a video from your Facebook wall by copying it from your phone to TV. SPARSH uses touch based interactions as just indication for what to copy, from where and where to pass it. Technically, the actual magic(transfer of media) happens on the cloud.

Very clever stuff.
I would love to see where we are "technology wise" in 100 years.
