| The good part is that Pranav is planning to 
| make available this software as open source so 
| every one can benefit. Since it will open 
| source, anyone can add features or modify the 
| software as he wishes. The hardware costs for 
| this system are relatively low.

,----[ Quote ]
| Mistry is the creator of SixthSense, a
| wearable gesture interface that uses a camera
| and tiny projector to display data and
| information onto surfaces, walls, and even
| your hand. Special fingertip sensors let users
| manipulate the data and use their hands to

| TEDIndia conference this week, the PhD student
