Pattie Maes & Pranav Mistry unveil the “Sixth Sense” game-changing wearable tech at TED Conference 2009.

If you have a few minutes, check out this 8 minute video featuring Pattie Maes (MIT) presenting new wearable technology that will allow the user “seamless access to meta information.”     VERY cool and not unlike Minority Report.

They were able to create this prototype for approximately $350:

Sixth Sense Wearable Tech $350

The user would theoretically be able to walk into a book store, pick up a book, and the amazon.com rating would project on the cover along with other pertinent information about the book and even suggest related books or authors:

reviews projected on item

The device can project on nearly anything, including your hand in a pinch:

Can you imagine all the potential uses this could have in a library setting?   :)
