Pranav Mistry, a researcher at MIT Media Lab under Pattie Maes, is the inventor of the Sixth Sense Technology and all sister-techs.

Almost ALL of his inventions deal with bridging the gap between physical and digital universes; make humans digital, in other words.

Sixth Sense Tech, the mother of them all, deals with a wearable device comprising of a camera, a projector with mirror, a cell phone and finger caps. It reads finger gestures and processes them based on its program. It uses internet to fetch relevant data to whatever passes the camera’s eye, and project that data onto the object’s surface, kinda like the eye-gear the Saiyans wore in Dragon Ball Z :) only much advanced!

The interesting note, however, is that they plan to develop as far as brain implants!

No, I’m not paid to advertise him, the stuff is just to ingenious not to pass on :)
