"Sixth Sense" Technology


TED is a small nonprofit company devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading." TED began in 1984 as a conference bringing together experts in technology, entertainment, and design. Today, along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, CA and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the TEDx community program, and its newest addition, the TEDIndia Conference.

In a 2009 TEDIndia conference, inventor Pranav Mistry demonstrated a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data. Mistry calls his development SixthSense, which is a device that can only be described as a paradigm-shifting paper laptop.

To watch the 13-minute video, log on to ted.com and search for "Pranav Mistry".
