SixthSense
A new (new as in a few years... the video introducing it was from 2009) technology has been released. It is called "SixthSense" and it is the pioneer of a new form of human/computer interaction. The device has a mini-camera, mini-projector, and color markers for the fingers. All of these components add up to make the SixthSense. It is amazing in four ways:
1. SixthSense can make pretty much any object a device from the miniature projector and the object becomes a touchscreen therefore giving it a variety of things to do with it.
2. With the color markers and camera, pictures can be taken without a click of a button, but rather with a shape made by the hands in a rectangle!
3. The device can be used as an information tool to look up something... the camera recognizes what it is looking at and then the projector projects a web search with information about whatever the object is.
4. Cell phones can be paired with SixthSense and phone numbers and text messages can be typed on the hand rather than typing on a regular phone!
The problem with the product is that it is a high-power demanding machine and it would need to be charged frequently. Another problem is, is there a case? If you are in an area or place in which you had to take off and put away SixthSense; you couldn't fit it in your pocket or put it in a backpack without breaking it. Finally, if the surface is not flat, the device will not work properly.
