Taking Photos with Hand Gestures

 

SixthSense is a wearable gesture device being developed by PhD student Pranav Mistry at the MIT Media Lab that allows the wearer to interact with their environment, treating the real world as a computer display. The above video is of the demo that was given at TED that generated international attention. What we found interesting is how the device allows you to photograph with hand gestures (at 6m25s), and the ability to work with your images on any wall.

Perhaps in the near future we’ll be able to edit and send our photographs on a wall immediately after shooting them using a wearable projector.

    Hopefully the actual technology, if it ever materializes, doesn't make its users look like complete geeks.

  3. I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg. ;-)

    Wow! That is a great idea, very impressive how he started with interest in a computer mouse and really expanded a lot on his idea. Hope your right Michael that is just the tip of the iceberg, will be very exciting to see all the applications.
