Pranav Mistry's TED talk on his SixthSense tech (bonus: it's open-source) (ted.com)

Here's a guy who for years has been dreaming about how to build computing power into the real word of physical gestures, object recognition and intuitive responses. The standing O at the end of this demo is deserved... and that was even before he announced he was going to open source it.


I really feel like a different title might have helped this submission. It's truly incredible technology, this is what we need to start expecting when we think "augmented reality." Hopefully this will obsolete smart phone augmented reality!
