This video is truly worth the 14 minutes. The potential for the technology being discussed in this is unbelievable. What are your thoughts? Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology | Video on TED.com
Yeah, the true potential for this lies in augmented reality projected directly onto the eyes via electronic contact lenses.
Yeah, and then in 30 years, someone like you, or maybe even you, will say: as amazing as it is, just wait about 30 years and prepare to shit your fuckin pants Appreciate the "now"
was it that same video? Just ask cause that's actually the second time it was givin a talk at TED. The first time was his professor. What really blow's my mind is: Dean Kamen previews a new prosthetic arm | Video on TED.com and that was from 2007 edit: there's also one on the site that show's how they have a power that will allow a person to regrow body parts. The video show's several human fingers as well as a female's foot (partial, outer part, think from small toe to about the middle of the arch). I can't find it but once i do will post it.
I think someone mentioned it before but they just finished trials of another version of that arm that used sensors inside the body that had much better control. Was a month long test that finished in Dec. I think it was. Yea, i think very soon (within 5 years) we will have people that live with these devices.
google it. But seriously it's not that hard to build, the hard part is the software that controls it. That's why these things take so long, just like self driving vehicles. They have them in use currently but you wont see them for a very long time in the public domain because there are so many things to deal with that it just takes time to collect that data or design the software that can handle new situations without "freaking out" and making a left turn into the crowd of people on the sidewalk.
