In a world where we are confined to machines for our technological and informative needs there is a paradigm shift on the horizon where we will actually be able to interact with the physical objects around us and the world of computing will be seamlessly blended with the world of technology and information. This idea of interacting with objects in this way is best described by seeing an example for yourself. In the embedded TED video Pranav Mistry showcases his SixthSense technology that will be used in the future to create a more interactive world. The most amazing thing about his technology is that he will release it as open source software so anything you could imagine doing with a physical object from projecting images on any surface to looking at a map in the newspaper and having real time weather projected onto the surface to pinching text from a physical book and pasting it to the surface of another object or dragging it to your computer screen all with simple intuitive hand gestures will be possible. After watching the video feel free to post useful ways you could see people using this technology in the comments section.
