Working at Chaordix has provided me with plenty of opportunity to do cool things. One of those things is organizing TEDxYYC (an independently organized TEDx event). As part of the event, the volunteer team has promised to highlight a different TEDtalk every day. I made everyone in the office watch this one yesterday and we were all impressed by Pranav Mistry. His demonstration of sixthsense technology includes some mind blowing stuff, like dialing a call in the palm of your hand, taking a photo by using your fingers to frame it and move seamlessly between paper and computer.

Listen to him talk at TED about what he’d like to do with the technology (take it open source) how it happened and how much the prototype costs to build (you too can build this for the low, low price of around $350!). Check out more of Pranav Mistry’s work on his website.
