'Sixth sense' ubiquitous gadget
MIT researchers created a 300 dollar sixth sense ubiquitous portable computing device: a necklace that channels Internet information into daily routines. The device can turn any surface into a touch-screen for computing, controlled by simple hand gestures. The gadget can even take photographs if a user frames a scene with
his or her hands, or project a watch face with the proper time on a
wrist if the user makes a circle there with a finger. The MIT wizards cobbled a Web camera, a battery-powered projector
and a mobile telephone into a gizmo that can be worn like jewelry.
Signals from the camera and projector are relayed to smart phones with
Internet connections.
