The "Sixth Sense." Could It Be in Our Future?

This demonstration is from Pattie Maes' lab at MIT. It's a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with the environment. When we look at how far technology has come in the last 10 years, such as the sophistication of the Internet you are using to read this now, imagine where we could be 10 years from now. This demo makes for some fascinating conversation.

What do you see here that is good? What do you see that concerns you?

That is fascinating technology. Initially, I do not see any problems with the technology, because it appears that the technology cannot read any information that is not already a part of the public domain (e.g., posted to the internet in some way). It seems that no personal information could be accessed that one has not already made available to the public through the internet.
