The "Sixth Sense," game-changing wearable tech
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
by TalkToMeGuy
[wpvideo zMQtUssW]
This demo — from Pattie Maes’ lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry — was the buzz of TED. It’s a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine “Minority Report” and then some.
Pattie Maes was the key architect behind what was once called “collaborative filtering” and has become a key to Web 2.0: the immense engine of recommendations — or “things like this” — fueled by other users. In the 1990s, Maes’ Software Agents program at MIT created Firefly, a technology (and then a startup) that let users choose songs they liked, and find similar songs they’d never heard of, by taking cues from others with similar taste. This brought a sea change in the way we interact with software, with culture and with one another.
Now Maes is working on a similarly boundary-breaking initiative. Her newly founded Fluid Interfaces Group, also part of the MIT Media Lab, aims to rethink the ways in which humans and computers interact, partially by redefining both human and computer. In Maes’ world (and really, in all of ours), the computer is no longer a distinct object, but a source of intelligence that’s embedded in our environment. By outfitting ourselves with digital accessories, we can continually learn from (and teach) our surroundings. The uses of this tech — from healthcare to home furnishings, warfare to supermarkets — are powerful and increasingly real.

Bonnie Raitt and Dolores Huerta
Bonnie Raitt: legendary musician, feminist, activist. Dolores Huerta: legendary organizer, feminist, activist. Two women who both achieved great successes in their fields and who are not stopping anytime soon. But while one was marching on the streets for migrant laborers, the other was headlining concerts bringing attention to the risks of nuclear energy and other issues. Two distinctly different women who chose such opposite paths and came from radically different backgrounds, but both chose to spend their lives trying to make the world a better place for all of us. In this conversation, Raitt and Huerta talk about their passions, their regrets, their fears, and most of all their dreams for future generations.

The amazing true story of a zoo-born lion cub who began his life in the pet department of Harrods and returned to Africa to lead his own pride.
Christian’s discovery by Bill Travers in a furniture store in the King’s Road, London, was the beginning of an incredible journey back to the wild. The complete story of his rescue, development, and gradual return to his ancestral home was superbly captured forever on film by Travers in a true story that has pathos, tragedy and triumph.
First seen as a theatrical cinema release, this feature length documentary remains one of the greatest wildlife films ever produced. The example of Christian continues to inspire the work of the Born Free Foundation in returning wildlife to the wild.
