An Indian researcher wants you to develop a sixth sense technology that makes the entire world your personal computer. And his latest gizmo-made from off-the shelf items and costing less than RS 17,500 - might just do that!
Pranav Mistry needs to make a phone call. While mostof us would whip oit our handset for this simple task, Pranav holds up his left palm in front of his chest. As if by magic, number-pad appears on his
fingers ! His right index finger. tipped with a red cap, deftly dials out the digit and hits 'Call'. The earphone and mike - attached to the cellphone in his pocket - take over. and Pranav is happily yapping away.
Reality is a pay tool for this 27-year-old Studying for Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's media Lab, he already hold a Master of arts and science from institute, in addition to Master of Design from IIT Bombay.
"I m a designer." Pranav laughs. "Exposure to diverse fields. from design and technology art and psychology.gave me an interesting perspective on the world."
Born to an architect in Palanpur(Gujarat,India), a small town in northern Gujarat.Pranav has previously worked as a User experience(UX) researcher at Microsoft India.
"I love to see technology from design prospective. and vice-versa. This vision reflects in almost all of my projects and research work." he says.
His new endevour stands testament:called 'Sixth Sense'. the tool sees what the user sees. and augments surfaces or objects the is interacting with. What's more,it's small and light enough to be worn around your neck like a pendant, r affixes to your cap.
In the last Pranav says in short Sixth sense is art to achieve through pars of human-beings body most of hands and head useful.
