The Sixth Sense’s integration of the physical world with the digital essentially renders the entire world as your computer. The technology does not change human habits, instead it makes computers and other technologies change to accommodate human requirements. It is a cost effective device, with the combination of hardware equating to $350.00. The mobility of the device is largely due to the portable and smaller sized pieces. Furthermore, the mobility of the device is evidenced in its lack of a mouse or keyboard as well as the elimination of carrying a camera. Sixth Sense Technology transforms the world into an accessible database as well as being portable and efficient.
The color markers on the fingers are the next step in the innovation of this technology. The elimination of unnecessary components would prove to make the device more portable. At the moment, the device is contained on a pendant that holds the three components of the technology. Perhaps the integration of the required devices will be seen and contained within one piece rather than three separate articles.
Although this technology has yet to become a widely incorporated device, it offers massive potential. The idea of having the entire world connected to the digital seems surreal as we combine nature with technology seamlessly. Sixth Sense Technology would see a decrease in paper, ability to use any surface for activities (elimination of screens) and improve the lives of handicapped people. On the other hand, some of the possible issues that arise include the availability to inappropriate information, future cost, connection issues with areas that do not host a capable network and overreliance on technology. If the technology was to be adopted by a wide population, it would be necessary to have Internet access at all times into areas which do not. Furthermore, we could possibly see an age in which we are too wired and over-reliant on technology in such a manner that it heavily influences our daily life.
