“Person of the Year” for 2009- Pranav Mistry

I don’t want to lag behind Time magazine in naming my “Person of the Year" for 2009 now that they have named Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke for this honor. My person of the year is Pranav Mistry --this guy is a genius of our times.
 Pranav is redefining the meaning for the word “SixthSense'. His ground break research on, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures is just amazing.
'SixthSense' devices are 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.

I would like you to watch his video and visit his website to get a clear idea about the extent and impact of this technology.

This guy is a true philanthropist –all his work is open source.

Prototype sixth sense gadgets cost as little as $350. I hope we don’t have to wait too long to wear such a device.
