SixthSense Technology 1
SixthSense Technology 2

I would like to introduce the next generation wearable computer, SixSense Technology. This technology is invented very recently in the MIT Media lab. The basic idea is not very new such as using projector, virtualizing the real world objects and manipulate it wirelessly on the personal screen. However this video shows that in the near future, our traditional computers can be disappeared. Instead, very small and cheap necklace-shaped device can substitute our computer devices and all we need are our fingers and a white color surface. (this can even be a piece of paper).

I thought this invention is very innovative and has a huge potential. Because this is still the beginning step and has many questions to consider such as “can projector quality(resolution, brightness) be good enough to be a subsutite of a traditional monitor?” or “to make the screen not shakable, should users try not to move at all? because the projector is attached to the users body.) Regarding to our class, this is a good example of augmented reality. As a bridge between the real world and the virtual world, we can design a product or art in this class.
