Okay, this is pretty amazing - and a mad sign of things to come. The clever clogs over at MIT have been wowing audiences at the latest TED conference with an incredible piece of technology they call Sixth Sense. The wearable (and highly affordable!) prototype they've developed not only lets you take a hands on approach to interacting with your computer (Minority Report style) but promises breakthrough integration between the real world and the world of data. It's the potential to get instant information on just about anything, just by pointing at it, that gives the technology its name.
I hate to use the word "revolutionary," but there's no doubt that this thing rocks. And it goes without saying that it really could change the way we live, let alone buy stuff (Gartner's Hype Cycle notwithstanding:) and I won't even go into its potential for marketing evaluation...
Take a look:
Looks like Faris' vision of the "Invisible Web" could be closer than we think...
