Students at MIT have came up with a way to turn the internet into a sixth sense.

basically these guys have taken a web cam, a battery powered 3M projector and a mirror, all connected to a web enabled mobile phone costing around $350.

worn round the neck the web cam takes what it's looking at, finds the relevant information on the net and then project the information onto whatever surface the projector is pointing at.

if you had a face recognition programme running it would scan the person face and project everything about them on to thier chest so you can read it, i think that's what they're showing in one of the videos.

I think this i such a simple idea but the possibilities are endless.
