TEDTalk Tuesday: A Sixth Sense for Wearable Computing
Today's TEDTALKTUESDAY deals with the next generation of computing devices- wearable computers. Using off-the-shelf hardware (for now), our speaker demonstrates some of the why-didn't-I-think-of-that uses for the system- and raises some difficult questions in today's "always connected all the time" society.

Enjoy!

About this talk

This demo -- from Pattie Maes' lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry -- was the buzz of TED. It's a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine "Minority Report" and then some.
