MIT Students Turn Internet Into a Sixth Human Sense



Check out what these students from MIT Media Lab who developed a wearable computing system that turns any surface into an interactive display screen.

The wearer can summon virtual gadgets and internet data at will, then dispel them like smoke when they're done. Now tell me are we living in a cool time period or what...we're not far from the Minority Report folks...



The gestures can be as simple as using his fingers and thumbs to create a picture frame that tells the camera to snap a photo, which is saved to his mobile phone. When he gets back to an office, he projects the images onto a wall and begins to size them.
