As good as most of them are it’s a rare TED video that makes you want to stand and applaud with the crowd even though you’re only stream­ing a record­ing of a past event. But this TED Talk by Pranav Mis­try has some truly jaw-dropping stuff, par­tic­u­larly for those who haven’t much con­sid­ered the extent to which we could be inter­fac­ing our dig­i­tal world our the nat­ural one. Some of this looks like gen­uine sci­ence fic­tion. Haven’t heard of him? I hadn’t either. “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.” He is also the inven­tor of SixthSense.
