while inspiring… i wonder about the safety issues of driving while having things to distract us while driving. Already, talking on the phone already distracts us, why not more interface displays providing information on you frontscreen unrelated to road conditions.
however, map details would be good, afterall gps units already are in some cars. also other things related to road conditions, jams, status of cars would be helpful. Even! perhaps we are driving in incredibly rainy conditions that we cannot see the road clearly, if the windscreen can replace or add digital outlines of vehicles infront and the roads, we could still carry on driving safely!!
also i wonder how the grandma’s watch did a projection on air. the video gets more and more unrealistic as it progresses..
FInally, in terms of learning, it is true that knowing something is different from knowing ABOUT something.. but having supplementary or peripheral information about things do help us know things better.

Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology
At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.
Interesting!!! taking away the need for a screen, moving into projection.. multi-screening.. pinch and drag. =D
maybe further in the future move the screen/projector (image device) into a “contact lens”? hmm.. wearable screens… get privacy (only you see the content you want), better quality images, mashup of digital and virtual images? hm..

Future of the internet: How to never forget: The story behind Kevin’s wearable cameras
Dr. Kevin Lim recently graduated with his PhD in Communication at the University at Buffalo (SUNY). Dabbling for both pragmatic and play, he seeks an ideal interplay between online and offline life, through social networking, blogging and lifecasting. He openly wishes to become a “social cyborg”, where the meshing of human and networking technology would allow one’s presence to be augmented by the minds of many.
