TED – The Sixth Sense

HomeFuture TechnologyTED – The Sixth Sense

We closely watch technology trends, trawling the data-sphere looking for interesting technology that will have implications on how we live, work and learn in the future. One of the sites we frequent is TED, ‘Ideas Worth Spreading’. Here is something interesting we picked up earlier from TED, a video of Pattie Maes demonstrating the “Sixth Sense,” game-changing wearable technology.

Such a technology would impact learning in unimaginable ways. It would allow individuals to repurpose any environment for ambient learning. Will it have an impact on learning? I look forward to hearing your views, comments and questions.
