I’ve been going through some of the videos from the Technology, Entertainment, Design conference that I talked about last time. While I’ve come across some interesting videos, one of the coolest videos I’ve seen was sent to me by a reader (who wishes to remain anonymous). The video below is Pattie Maes demonstrating a wearable technology that could allow you to physically interact with the web (and web-based metadata) in the real world.
One of the most interesting things about this demo is that the device she talks about is really just assembled from a bunch of technologies that already exist. It’s a good reminder that innovation and invention are not always the same thing, but are still sometimes tough to tell apart.

I really like the idea of walking around with the possibility of projecting a surface at any time. The best part is that there is a portable holographic emitter in today’s technology and I wasn’t aware it existed. I want to project the numbers and dial on my hands!
This is a really good prototype. I can see the developers integrating the technology where users can wear special gloves, have the projector on a belt or small vest, and having the camera built into glasses. This is very exciting technology! I would want one today.
