SixthSense Technology: A glimpse into where I believe tech is going
The above talk is amazing (couldn’t get the video to embed in this post, so it’s embedded in the post above/after this). Pranav Mistry started hacking simple tech, and ended up at a realization that can shift the way you view our interaction with technology. He observes that we’re not interested in technology, we’re interested in information. Tech is just a way to get ever-increasing (usually complex) information. I believe this is where tech is going to go- using it to gather information and then have that info interface with our physical world.
As an Industrial Designer this sent my mind racing thinking of subtle ways of integrating our tech into our objects. I’m inspired to first start with a physical form for the prototypes he displayed in his talk to explore what the device could look like. Time to brainstorm!

Colored in one of the previous sketches! The approach of the coloring was to keep the color count low, maybe I’ll get it screen printed sometime.

Saturday sketch. Something developing in my head I’d like to develop on paper- hybrid forms of organic and mechanical, and experimenting with materials.
