Sixth Sense? Magic? Technology?

Imagine reading newspaper the Harry Potter Daily Prophet way - videos accompanying articles. Imagine looking at a person and being able to know all about the person - his or her interests, what they do etc. Imagine going to the Supermarket, and looking at a product, and knowing everything about it, including the carbon footprint value.

Sounds like magic, huh?? Well... Its soon going to be a reality!

My friend G, yes, the same one who wrote me that testimonial, sent me this amazing video. The video is a demonstration kinda thing of this research done by Pattie Maes from MIT. The research product is a wearable "system", that consists of a camera, project, mirror, mobile phone, and some marker caps. The system understands and processes gestures, giving a sixth sense feeling, in their words. Sounds exciting? Check out the video below!
