As smartphones and touchscreen interfaces are now commonplace, it’s  sometimes difficult to guess what the “next big leap” in technology could possibly bring.  What if, with minimal “wearable” technology, you could make anything your touch screen?   Play games or run applications with a simple piece of paper.  Make a regular table, desk or wall your own interactive Microft Surface.  Pranav Mistry’s SixthSense Technology could possibly change the way we all physically interact with digital data. Pranav, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT’s Media Lab, shows off this wearable tech in the video above.

Not only is what he’s doing completely mind blowing (I had to watch the video several times and then immediately searched online to see if this was fake.  It wasn’t.).  Imagine all of the different applications and uses!  If that wasn’t enough, Pranav plans to make the software behind SixthSense open-source for other developers to expand and utilize the platform.
