"Sixth Sense" Technology
While I'd have a hard time calling this technology a "sixth sense", as offered, it is still quite remarkable and certainly worth your time to view.
After you've seen the talk by Pattie Maes, based on the work of Pranav Mistry, please consider taking a few more minutes to view the remarkable and surprising short video by Bruce Branit that implements some of the technology described in the talk. Thanks to Joel Baumbaugh for being the catalyst on this blog. Please consider spending some of your recreational time watching the TED talks. They are always stimulating. Feedback always welcome. Happy Halloween. Dave out P.S. I've long held the belief that a sixth sense exists. I believe it is localized at our "nodes of Ranvier" where breaks in the myelin sheaths, on our axons, allow for electromagnetic interaction with our environment. There is no magic or mysticism in this mechanism. Saltatory conduction has long been understood and provides a very valuable service to neuron bearing entities. I have neither engaged in experimentation with nor sufficiently researched this arena but now throw this idea forth in the hopes that you can either enlighten me to unknown research or to perhaps light a flame in the darkness, to stimulate your curiosity sufficiently to perform your own research. The mind reels at the possibilities.Pattie's talk http://www.branitvfx.com/worldbuilder/index.html
