At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data -- including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper "laptop." In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he'll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.

Excellent presentation and very impressive by Pranav Mistry.

Though I must say this "sixth sense technology" is not solely the invention of Pranav Mistry.

This advance technological integration system and gadgets and their emergence and interaction with real life and physical human interaction is already in process and development.

I've seen several Technology & Science expos, I remember when Bill Gates introduced Microsoft new "Surface Technology" which allows technology to collaborate and integrate with physical human interaction and vice versa. Similar, to this "sixth sense technology". Microsoft and from what I understand companies in Germany have been in the development of similar technology for several years now...

Nonetheless, this sixth sense technology and this entire concept of technology collaborating and integrating with physical human interaction and day to day life is highly fascinated and a remarkable break though in technology.

Should be out earlier, I hope.

Everything needed to make it a reality is out there, all hat is needed is for someone to create a service out of this and market it.

This guy is putting it out in the open source market. He doesn't even want money for his brainwave!

This should help in early adaption I hope.

You know what a device like this could mean in womens world, specially time management effeciency while going for shopping?

I would never have doubts since my sixth sense will pick everything for me.

Similar technology to the Sixth Sense concept.

Physical human interaction integrated with technology.

The last video is a very fascinating and a well presented video of how this technology can be used in every day life, business, manufacturing, office work, and more.

I have my doubts about that. ;)

Science has created miracles, none of them has the power to take away the "joy" of shopping from a woman.

I know, I have suffered it and so has every man.

Microsoft surface is a different concept. I know about it since the days it was introduced and I have played with it.

This guy is making every surface a display surface, quite a unique breakthrough.

There are some surface level similarities, the practical usage is quite different.
