Pranav Mistry is the inventor of SixthSense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data.

At TEDIndia, he demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data -- including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper "laptop." In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he'll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.

Pranav Mistry is a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT's Media Lab. Before his studies at MIT, he worked with Microsoft as a UX researcher; he's a graduate of IIT. Mistry is passionate about integrating the digital informational experience with our real-world interactions.

Some previous projects from Mistry's work at MIT includes intelligent sticky notes, Quickies, that can be searched and can send reminders; a pen that draws in 3D; and TaPuMa, a tangible public map that can act as Google of physical world. His research interests also include Gestural and Tangible Interaction, Ubiquitous Computing, AI, Machine Vision, Collective Intelligence and Robotics.

Looks like a very promising and intriguing and promising device. But some points of worry: it is too bulky to casually wear around your neck all of the time. It looks a bit slow at times. And lastly, since the projector is attached to the body, it is always shaky. There should be some sort of compensation for that.

The genius of the guy is his simplicity - truly mind blowing! The closing comment of us becoming machines glued to a machine is spot on. AS an IT consultant spending on average 8 hours per day, eyes glued to a screen is troublesome. I have shunned away from hand held devices. - not wanting to trade a bigger screen after 8 hours for a smaller one. I salute you, a truly noble cause - in the Indian tradition of sharing rather than profiting from knowledge.
