SixthSense Technology

This weel we have been assigned to watch 2 videos on this emerging technology called the SixthSense.  It is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.  I think this is a really cool idea which almost seems that it at once upon a time was impossible.  I have always thought of ideas like I wish we could just have a mobile phone somehow attached in our brains rather than having a separate object that we connect to people through.  even though its a thought there would be no way I would be able to even start thinking about doing this.  Well, the creator of SixthSense seems to have found ways of doing this.

It is said that Sixth Sense technology will "help us to stay human."  He continues, "to stay more connected to our physical world."

And that it will "help us avoid being machines sitting in front of other machines."

I think that we are definitely human that have already turned into a digital world and it could never go back.  I think that it is beneficial that we a re turning towards a digital word because it is what keeps us in touch with people that arn't within reach.  If there is a way of connecting the two I think that we will enter a whole new arena of possibilities in which we can achieve as humans.  I don't think that is a bad thing, although I think it is still important to keep in touch with the physical world, we couldn't live without the digital world.

I am excited to see how this SixthSense technology progresses and to see how it would fit into society and day to day life.
