Wow. I have always wanted to have my Adam Garcia moment and be an Iron Man at the La Honda Institute like in the hilarious movie "The first $20 Million is always the hardest". Looks like the invention of the $99 computer is just around the corner. My dearest mother in-law, who I have just discovered is web 2.0, sent me a link to a very interesting talk by Pranav Mistry inventor of SixthSense. Watch the clip below to see the possibilities of Pranav's invention... uses a Sony type eyecam object recognition and a mini projector to turn your panaroma and any surface into an interactive environment, I am sure a hologram version is just around the corner.
