MIT Wearable Gadget Gives You Sixth Sense



The wunderkinds at MIT's Media Lab (Fluid Interfaces Group) have developed a gesture-controlled wearable computing device that feeds you relevant information and turns any surface into an interactive display. Called the Sixth Sense, the gadget relies on certain gestures and on object recognition to call up virtual gadgets and Web-based information, in a way that conjures up the movie Minority Report.

Sixth Sense aims to integrate information and tech into everyday life.

The team built the Sixth Sense $350 prototype using off-the-shelf components-a simple web cam and portable battery-powered projector with a small mirror-that are fashioned into a pendant-style necklace that communicates with a cell phone.
