At the recent TED conference in February, MIT’s Pattie Maes wowed the audience with a wearable technology prototype that turns any surface into a virtual touchscreen.
Built by MIT’s MediaLab research group, this tech-necklace consists of a camera, mirror and portable projector, all hooked up to a mobile phone hidden away in a pocket.
Maes referred to the technology as a ‘sixth sense’, capable of offering its users seamless, real-time access to web-based information. It even makes physical digital cameras redundant.
