Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology
I want everyone to watch this video. This is not science fiction. This is not Gene Roddenberry.
As a volunteer in public access, the biggest impact you can have on the digital divide is to prepare your community for the ever rapidly evolving technology. Technology, in fact, which is evolving faster than any example in history.
To bring home the point that this is not science fiction, all of the equipment used is readily available off the shelf. We have been using "thinclients", small portable computers, in CAP sites... similar to those he is using. He uses a portable projector, worn around his neck. Well, we actually own the exact same model. It`s the 3M MmmPro LED project, and we use it every day at theHub. In the next 24 months, everything you see in this film will be mainstream. Ask yourself, what is your community doing to prepare for such a radical change in technology ?
Right now, watching this video is the most important thing you can do for your community and for your CAP site.
