Pranav Mistry's Sixth Sense to go open source
Mysore: In TEDIndia conference, Pranav Mistry, a Research Assistant and PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab, demonstrated the latest version of his Sixth Sense wearable gesture interface, where he showed how it could be used to compute using just a piece of paper. Sixth Sense was first presented by Mistry at a TED conference in February 2009. In his latest demo, he attached a microphone to the paper and was able to use it as a touch interface, play 3D games, watch movies, and seamlessly transition work between a PC and his interface. The demo received a huge round of applause from the audience at TED, but he saved the best for last. "I am trying to make this tech available to people, and I will provide all the open source software for Sixth sense starting next month," said Pranav.
