Information at your fingertips

Austin, Iain and I watched the TED talk on the 6th Sense research project at the MIT media labs.

Iain and Austin were particularly impressed with the idea of using gestures to access information and features. The demos of using your hand to dial a phone, the wrist watch gesture and the picture-taking gesture inspired them the most. I asked them to put some thought into ideas they have for new gesture features or interesting ways to use the ones in the talk. I need to follow-up with them on this.
