With just the projection before, it seems he was only able to pinch and rotate. With the microphone, the system can know when you're "pressing" down.

On a slightly different note, not much is mentioned about the presumably fast/expensive laptop/pc in his backpack to power the information received by the camera. The future of this technology IMO relatively depends on mobile computing and network speeds (re: weather, news etc.)]]>Nov 18th 2009 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/latest-sixthsense-demo-features-paper-laptop-camera-gestures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/latest-sixthsense-demo-features-paper-laptop-camera-gestures/

If it wasn't for micoprojectors, this guy would still be stuck in a MIT basement studying some unusable pie-in-the-sky idea.

In technology, when it comes to new hardware, the 1st to exploit it wins, and that usually means the guy that has the best R&D connections (which Pranav DOES).

Cool? yes. Inevitable? yes. Innovative? questionable. Revolutionary? likely not. Remember technology is about exploitation of science and .... timing (for the right hardware).

Now Pranav: onward down the 'Hype Curve' we go... and Engadget, please do your part!]]>Nov 18th 2009 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/latest-sixthsense-demo-features-paper-laptop-camera-gestures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/latest-sixthsense-demo-features-paper-laptop-camera-gestures/
By your definition, nothing is innovative or revolutionary because everything is innevitable. And while I am of more sober mind about this and disagree how companies (especially Apple beinig the biggest culprit) use "innovative" and "revolutionary" to describe pretty much any and all banal things they produce, there ARE things which truly are innovative.

6th sense is innovative. It's a different look at how we interact with our technology and the world in a more seamless manner. And someone else looking at the same tech in a different way is just as innovative. When, and only when, it gets released for consumption will it becomoe revolutionary; because it changes the way we use our technology at the personal level. It is steam engine going to combustion.

in 5 years time when this or similar comes to market, the package will be small enough to be practical. Battery tech in 5 years may not be up to the job (my opinion). Even as is, it's already nearing practical sizes considering it's jury-rigged and cobbled together with common, off-the-shelf parts stuck together with basically nothing more than duct tape.]]>Nov 18th 2009 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/latest-sixthsense-demo-features-paper-laptop-camera-gestures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/latest-sixthsense-demo-features-paper-laptop-camera-gestures/Nov 19th 2009 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/latest-sixthsense-demo-features-paper-laptop-camera-gestures/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/latest-sixthsense-demo-features-paper-laptop-camera-gestures/

he needs to recognize the foley in his hardware implementation for AR, and the exponential benefits in the alternative, what he is doing now is an exercise in futility. He is talented, but his talents are going to waste.
