Presented by Pattie Maes’ lab at MIT, developed by Pranav Mistry. This is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. It is a small collection of wearable devices that work together to allow you to quickly discover a vast amount of information about your world.

From Amazon reviews of the book in your hand, to projecting a biographical keyword cluster on to the person you are talking with. It does so much! In one of the demos: Pranav picked up a book, the device recognized the title, projected an Amazon review on to the cover of the book that was in hand, and then showed him the average Amazon rating. How incredible! In another demo Pranav gestured to his wrist, drawing an imaginary circle, and half a second later a clock is projected onto his wrist. Amazing!!

Want to hear the best part? This was assembled with $350 in off the shelf parts!!! $350 is cheaper than my IPhone =(
