The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology



I guess I'm the only one who thinks it's lame. Sorry, I'd rather have computer info you can see clearly and sharply. That's why Sci-fi has been promoting things like VR or holograms forever.. not displaying stuff on any random 2-D surface.

Also, it's hilarious seeing his little scenes of him using the stuff all quickly and easily. My guess is that if he brought it out and tried to use it naturally on anything it'd fail most of the time.

I'm glad he's making progress on this kind of thing but we'll see how practical it all is. And I'm also glad he's putting forth the effort to make more input devices.. cause we've been stuck with what we have for far too long.

Well, you could just as easily have this stuff projected on the inside of some HUD glasses with the camera still reacting to the surface. It'd certainly create a more stable image for a start.
Instead of your hand having part of the image projected over it, your hand is now passing through the image in so far as your perception goes.

In fact, there's already stuff out for this kind of thing, just not as all encompassing as the demo shown before.
 
I wish I could see where things will be at in a few hundred years. It's gonna be crazy.

Hopefully Kurzweil is right and we'll all live forever. Or maybe the Mayans are right and all this shit stops in a few years.
