    Default You have to see this (we now have a 6th sense)

    Maybe it's not as facinating to some but I can't get over this.

    It reminds me of Back to the Future and every other bit about flying cars and robots in the future that I ever heard of.

    And maybe I'm late (video is from Febuary) but this is the most incredible use of technology I have ever seen.

    Skip to 1:30 or so if you can't stand the accent or can't sit still.

    Wow, this looks insane. THe only thing that would suck is the initial configuring process of putting in whatever you like, what you don't like, etc.

    And how does the projector know where to aim, say for the watch gestures and such?

    This is just a start. As wild as this is, it's just a very Beta version. I'm sure it will just continue to advance at warp speed.

    To the last two guys:

    My friend who moved to Cali follows shit like this and sent it to me.

    She thought: look how man can benefit from this.

    I said look how bad intentions could benefit from this. I would rather it not be existing at all but reguardless it does and technology will continue to what it is and the only reaction to it will be just that, reaction. Good or bad.

    To be honest, it really freaked me out but it's here and we can't do shit about it.

    My friend said:

    I can see people posting porno's on walls in public places like libraries and churches.

    This is not a sixth sense. It is a combination of the same 5 senses.
    Remember: "It is better to keep your [hands still] and appear stupid than to [respond] and remove all doubt."

    Not very impressed, for now at least.

    Her example of meeting somebody and not being able to go to your phone to Google them immediately upon shaking their hand is still kind of shaky. Oh wait, let me shine my little projector on you to find out everything about you when I could just be a person and ask you. And besides, how many of you are the only result for your name on Google? I know I'm not. How will this thing distinguish which person it's trying to find information about. Seems a lot less awkward to just ask the person about themselves.

    Also, I guess you can fine to it at home, but it seems like it is a Google search with a search bar that you can't refine results with. Like the book example. They say it will give you reviews and stuff. What if I want to know if this is a reasonable price for the book? What if I want to know if this is the latest book by that author? Do I have to tell it at home that when I hold up a book to it that's what I want it to tell me, or am I just helplessly holding a book up to my chest praying it will tell me what I want.
