Technology outruns itself.The day when laptops and computers are gonna be extinct are not too far away (it seems), Thanks to ,Pranav mistry a student from MIT who as made a “ wearable gesture interface device” ( named Sixth sense) that has the potential to replace laptops and computers (or even mobile phones ,for that matter) .The catch is that this incredible gizmo can turn any surface into a virtual screen (as you would have seen in the Si-fi flicks) ,more than that ,this virtual screen can be operated by simple hand gestures and all of these come at a dead cheap price of a mobile phone (believe it or not !).
With this device you can do almost anything right from locating your position on google maps to drawing a graffiti using hand gestures. for example , you could pick up any Book from the store and this device will display all the details about the book from Amazon.com. or you could even arrange your photos into an album using simple hand gestures like Microsoft Surface.In an interview to TED Pranav says, that this device can also be used for gamming and he even expects this device to change the way games are being played .
The potential feature in this device that can replace laptops and computers (even mobile phones , see the pic below), is that its compatibility to any programs that we run on computers now.
This device has been recently displayed at TED conference.
This amazing device is expected at a price of $350 ,when it is commercialized. Lets hope this Magical device to hit the Market Soon.[via labnol]
