Get rid of that mouse and keyboard, finally !

Check this out .. future of Human - Technology interaction

Outcome of research work being done at MIT Media Lab led by Pranav Mistry, a Ph.D student, and one of the winners of this year's prestigious "Young Innovators Under 35 award".

Called SixthSense project, it aims to seamlessly integrate digital information with our everyday physical world, and get rid of the clunky interfaces like mouse, keyboad, screens that exist today.
Here's the Trivia bit : Remember seeing this concept some where else before ? ( hint).

This idea of making a gesture-controlled interface is similar to what was in the Spielberg's famous 2002 movie .

So next time your kid wants to watch a sci-fi flick don't stop .... as you never know, that might inspire the next coolest invention. Till then I will keep clicking on this keyboard..
