Remember the name Pranav Mistry. He is a 31-year-old Indian computer scientist who is leading the world in gestural interaction. To learn more about gestural interaction, please watch the video above that was taped a few years ago. You will think it is all science fiction. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Mistry’s “SixthSense” wearable technology is going to allow you to use natural hand gestures to project digital content onto other surfaces, like walls and physical objects around you. “SixthSense” frees information from the confines of digital devices by seamlessly projecting onto your physical environment.
Mistry is the head of the Think Tank Team and Director of Research at Samsung where he works on a wide variety of topics including wearable computing, augmented reality, ubiquitous computing, gestural interaction, artificial intelligence, machine vision, collective intelligence, and robotics. He is best known for his work on SixthSense and Samsung Galaxy Gear.
Everyone is waiting for the next big thing. This could be it. Did you ever see anything so remarkable? Okay, maybe a baby being born, but that’s it!
