Technology is advancing really fast, it’s almost as if we can’t keep up with its pace. I came upon a video about a new technology that blew my mind away; it’s a video about the SixthSense Technology. That video gave me a glimpse of the way we will live our lives in the very near future. If you haven’t heard about it, SixthSense is a wearable device that allows the user to make the physical world interact directly with the digital world. The wonder that is SixthSense Technology cannot be understood and appreciated if only seen through the line “make the physical world interact directly with the digital world,” one needs to see it demonstrated. That is why I have included in this post the video that “blew my mind away.” But before you hit the “Play” button on the video player below, here are some teasers:

• Remember the movie Minority Report? Of course you remember that movie, everyone does, especially the newspaper with moving pictures in it. With SixthSense the impossible technological wonders we often see in sci-fi movies cease to be just fantasies, they actually happen.
• Imagine being able to drag an image from a book (hard copy) and drop it unto your computer’s monitor.
• Imagine being able to write on any surface with your finger or play a digital game on any surface without bringing your bulky computer.
• Imagine meeting a person for the first time and seeing basic information about him flash before your very eyes.

Okay, I know that words are not enough when it comes to things like this one so here is the video, prepare for a mind-blowing viewing.

The inventor of the SixthSense Technology is Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT’s Media Lab. Mistry says he will give the software behind SixthSense as open-source so that people can make do-it-yourself SixthSense devices of their own.
