Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of Sixth Sense technology

  Teaching cooperates with Sixth Sense technology

  §About this talk:
  At TED India, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data -- including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper "laptop." In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he'll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.


 §My appreciations:

  1. We began by taking a close look at the unique needs of each learner.

  2. Various scenarios and gestures encountered by them on a daily basis, Sixth Sense provides further understanding and convenience of the guidelines set forth for their learning necessities.

  3. Sixth Sense technology help learners accommodate their different learning scenarios and make the vision more tangible through drawing or sketching on the wall or paper.

  4. By means of palms and then press some virtual but tangible buttons on it, a teacher could share the article on the newspaper with students without the time and space limits.

  5. Sixth Sense technology is the best assistant, for its intelligence; that is, when teachers change the paper’s direction from horizontal to vertical, it can transfer the user-interface automatically. In this way, there will be greater efficiencies in teaching.

  6. Much more information is spring up from all over the world and it results in rapid ideation exchanges. Thanks to the Sixth Sense technology, information is more accessible and tangible.

  There is probably less boundary between the virtual and real word after Sixth Sense technology is invented. Its architectures are defined to help us, consumers or learners get with the various use scenarios. Putting the invention on our fingers helps us to illustrate our ideations and most important of all make the virtual items more tangible.

  It took much time and effort to invent the Sixth Sense technology, and therefore it transfer the information from intangible to tangible successfully. Nowadays, it’s no doubt that it is a one-of-a kind of design.

  Sixth Sense technology is a simple design with only headphones, some sensors and an important item like iPod. As the Ockham’s Razor theory goes, “Given a choice between functionally equivalent designs, the simplest design should be selected.”The result is the best performing and easiest to use it in anytime and anywhere.

  Once we could photo everything through our hands with sensors, the copyright will become easy enough to get. Maybe we can set up some realted laws to protect it. Because an inventor dedicated themselves entirely to their priceless invention, we should take “copyright” into consideration in the future.
