FW: very interesting - Sixth Sense Device

[Amos Shapira]

Oops. Sorry Omer. Didn't want to spoil a small nice surprise.

TED lectures are provided with subtitles in a few languages. This
particular talk has subtitles in English.

Basically the questions was "What are you going to do with this
technology? Are you going to license it and go commercial or open your
own start-up?" and the answer was essentially "I'm going to open
source everything and let anyone use it. The hardware is very cheap
and it's just a matter of finding use for the software".

Here is a blog post about this:
http://www.masshightech.com/blog/2009/11/09/pranav-mistry-taking-sixthsense-open-source/

Here is what appears to be the project's home page:
http://www.pranavmistry.com/projects/sixthsense/

And there are many results for "Pranav Mistry open source".

I didn't find the source yet. Apparently this is actually very fresh
news (the talk was made around beginning of November 2009) so might
take time to appear.
