Design+Technology: Sixth Sense

08 de April de 2009

The five human senses are touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing.

Coordinated by Pattie Maes, a group of MIT researchers proposes a new sense, the sixth sense, which would facilitate communication and human interaction. The Sixth Sense is, actually, a device that should be weared and that works as a full time computer type device.

The device has a video camera, a projector and a mirror. The projector allows someone to use the objects surrounding them as an interface, manipulated by the hands of the user.

A very interesting fact is that the prototype costs something like $350 to be build.
