Come on, baby, see the future with me: SixthSense

[Ryantology]

This was some crazy MIT shit I remembered seeing (and being impressed by) years ago when the first prototype was unveiled. What follows is a fancy artist's impression of the mature technology, but does it ever give me a big tech boner.

Le sigh.... Agree Ryan. Can't wait for it to be a reality.

Have you seen this one?

All those look great, but... too expensive.
The first vid was a bit reminiscent of the Metro UI... That must have been M$'s hand in there..

Thing is that Crown Corning™ has this technology available now. I agree with Ryan...exciting times. Geez I hope to see it.

How can sand be too expensive? those stupid islamic states have to have some-thing to sell when we tell them to shove their oil.

That's certainly one way to produce glass; however, I doubt it would meet the technology's specifications.

Yeah I know...I was born too early and have taught my children:

Growing up, I'd say my TV childhood was defined by Star Trek, Reading Rainbow, Batman and Pokemon. My mom was responsible for the first two.

I also remember when I was seven, my mom and I read The Hobbit. It was fantastic - I can hear her voice in the back of my skull paralleling the words my internal voice reads from that book to this day.

Science finds a way. I'm fascinated by the concept of flexible and even "foldable" displays, which may not be that far away. I can imagine a day when your TV or computer monitor are like a window shade. Roll it up when it's not in use and carry it anywhere, tucked under your arm or even stuffed into a coat pocket.
