Can’t take much credit for this - I don’t write any of this, I am merely collecting it together.

The MIT Media Lab has been experimenting with what they call ‘Sixth Sense’ inventions.  They have built a prototype of a gadget that you wear around your neck.  It has a camera and a mini projector and can sense your hand movements and what is around you and project information about that object from the internet via your mobile phone connection on to any surface.  You can interact with things, much like Microsoft Surface as well.

Take a look at the video from the latest TED conference within this news story.  I have to say – although this is early days – this is seriously amazing stuff !  Especially as they built this for $349 – imagine if they get this into mass production…………..

I think the possibilities with this technology are looking very interesting.
