Pattie Maes demos the Sixth Sense at TED

This TEDTalk by Pattie Maes of the Media Lab demos a new Sixth Sense technology that puts the Minority Report interface to shame. It seems to be the work of her student, Pranav Mistry. It's a wearable computer that projects an interface and controls wherever you are on whatever surface you want. Hold up your fingers in a rectangle to take a picture, draw a circle on your write to project a clock there, scan items in stores and project info about them, right on the item. Very cool ideas...
