Fluid Interfaces Group, You’re My Hero…

Alright, I’m gonna take a one-day mulligan on the iPhone 4 review. There’s no real reason for it other than I want to. So, you can expect that tomorrow for sure. That’s right, be ready son! If you remember last Friday’s massive post, I was trying to explain some ridiculously exciting tech that is just about beyond my comprehension. Well, if you thought a 3D-TV that didn’t need glasses and could display different images to different people was amazing, be prepared to have your freaking minds blown!
When I think about MIT, images of super smart nerds and geeks that are changing the world comes to mind. What separates MIT nerds from the rest, in my opinion, is that they seem to be a bit more socially aware; I mean, I don’t think of them as the kind of nerd that can’t talk to a normal person. Basically, I think people who go to MIT are the shit, and the team in the Fluid Interfaces Group are the dopest among them all. If the team at Microsoft working on the new displays change the way we think about viewable media, Pravnav Mistry and his posse are going to change the way we interact with the digital world. Seriously, these guys are so beyond anything else that all I can do is hope BP doesn’t use its oil to set the world on fire before their visions become reality.
Mistry and Fluid Interfaces are best known for SixthSense, and that’s got nothing to do with seeing dead people. SixthSense is a massive bowl of futuristic win, and I seriously hope this shit becomes a reality. I’m not going to make another strong, yet feeble, attempt to explain SixthSense. Instead, I’m going to make a lame half-assed attempt. If you saw Minority Report and wanted one of those BA “Finger Computer” things, Fluid Interfaces seems pretty close to making your dreams come true. Basically, Fluid Interfaces is working on a way to take your computer with you everywhere, and interact with it however, and wherever you want. Mistry gave an amazing talk at TED last November and it’s definitely one worth watching.
We’re gonna skip today’s lesson in hip-hop because I’m hella tired. Besides, you’re getting the TED video with Pravnav Mistry and his awesomeness detailing SixthSense. Just because I love you, check out the video for one of their latest creations, Mouseless. These fools at MIT figure out how you can use your mouse, without actually having a mouse. Man, these dudes are so dope, I wonder if they wanna be friends? Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.
