Since I learned about it last summer, I’ve become intrigued by the possibilities offered by Augmented Reality or AR technology. Some of my earlier blogs have highlighted AR applications which can be used to help you “try on” clothes prior to making an online purchase, to get information on your mobile audio/video device (aka phone) about a business as you approach it walking down the street or to find your car in the mall parking lot.

I showed this Pranav Mistry “SixthSense” TED video to my students last night and could tell that it opened some of their eyes to new possibilities. Mistry describes “SixthSense” as a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.

Watch it and I think you’ll be amazed, too.
