Control a Computer With Gestures

Control a Computer With Gestures

What's the latest buzz among software engineers and computer geeks in Silicon Valley? It's a video released earlier this week of Pranav Mistry talking about the next big thing--SixthSense IT service which still needs IT Support. SixthSense is the opposite of virtual reality. That is, virtual reality submerses a person in the digital world. SixthSense turns the tables and enables the digital world to shine a light on the real world.


Mistry, an MIT grad student, has been working on SixthSense, a project that has created a prototype of a wearable gestural interface. Like Tom Cruise in Minority Report, a person wears sensors on his fingers to interact with a computer. Only this time he's not looking at a computer screen, rather everyday objects like books.
