The "Sixth Sense" system designed by Patti Maes' Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab is a prototype that could greatly change to world of interactive design. Imagine being able to bring alive newspapers or frame out pictures with your fingertips and reducing buttons to finger gestures.
"The SixthSense prototype is comprised of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks user's hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques."
