Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry demonstrate Sixth Sense
by Ms. B. on Nov.21, 2010, under Blogging
This demo — from Pattie Maes’ lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry — was the buzz of TED. It’s a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine “Minority Report” and then some.
Reflect on the importance of this Ted Talk.
What is the message being conveyed? Is it one that others should watch? Why/Why not? Why do you think that I introduced you to it?
Be sure that your response is at least 50 words long. We will watch the video twice. Be sure that you are paying attention!!! The second time around I will stop it if/when requested so that we can discuss a talking point.
In the comment box, leave a reply showing how your life would change if you had the 6th sense device.
- How could this technological advancement change your life?
- What would an average day look like?
- Describe your day with the use of this device.
- You wake up and…….
- List 10 activities that you do daily that would be enriched with the use of this device.
