Buddy Home – Reminds me of Wall-E, grow fat and lazy

If you think my previous post Sixth Sense Technology was something that made you wonder how people can actually think so ahead, check this video out.

Luckily for me, my good friend, Shoban @shobankr from the TweetMyPC fame, who attended the TechED 2010 had a chance to meet Prasanna. He has literally gone a step further and implemented this in his own house.

It took me a while but then 2 minutes through the video, I just couldn’t take my eyes and ears off the video.

Shit I envy all these guys. Truly amazing.

Cheers!!!

Sixth Sense Technology – Suggest you don’t miss this

When this video started and I heard this guy speak, I was like, he speaks funny. But a few minutes through the video, I was belittled by the kind of things this guy had done in his life and made me wonder how much he had contributed not only to technology but to mankind on the whole. This is one person we are talking about who has literally altered the life of 6 billion people and all the future generations.

Pranav Mistry, is a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT’s Media Lab. Before his studies at MIT, he worked with Microsoft as a UX researcher; he’s a graduate of IIT. Mistry is passionate about integrating the digital informational experience with our real-world interactions.

At TEDIndia, 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.

This technology has finally been commercially implemented by BMW. Watch the video

Truly mind blowing. Hats off to you Pranav. Feel proud to be an indian.

Cheers!!!
