Mistry, a PhD student in Pattie Maes' Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT's Media Lab, is the genius behind SixthSense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data.
I f Pranav Mistry has his way, people around the world can build their own wearable 'SixthSense' -which uses a camera that understands human gestures - at a cost of less than Rs 15,000 ($300) by obtaining the software he developed for free in the next few months.

Perhaps due to the lack of exotic color options, the phone wasn't quite as appealing as when we first got our hands on its predecessors. but the design reminds us a fair bit of the Panasonic's Eluga. The buttons have the right amount of bite, although it would have been nice to see some premium materials used for these minor details. Light, but feels like we were often unable to keep hold of it. Getting into screen performance, it reflected a fair bit of ambient light, perhaps not the best display we've seen from Huawei - there seems to be a space between the surface of the glass and the display itself. With the aforementioned Emotion UI, there's the same clipboard animation across homescreen transitions, matching those other Ascend models. Huawei's focusing on battery life here as well, with a 2,420mA unit inside and the promise of consuming 20-percent less power, thanks to the handset's display technology. The other side is where the power button belongs, with both the headphone and micro-USB charging port found there. The right side houses a volume switch and a physical camera button - these were a bit plasticky, but has a nice matte finish. There's plenty of storage, with 16GB inside. We also got to play with Huawei's Emotion UI, which can draw on the 1GB of RAM housed inside. Its notable feature is the highest-speed LTE connection seen so far in a smartphone, up to 150Mbps with support for LTE Cat4. Design-wise, like those leaks, it looks an awful lot like its predecessor. And boy, it's a slender, feather-light phone with a glossy backing that come sin both black and white.
With Android 4.1, a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, 13-megapixel camera and a 720p 4.7-inch Gorilla Glass 2 Infinity Edge Display, it joins the likes of the Ascend Mate and D2 in forming the Chinese manufacturer's smartphone family in 2013. Just ahead of Huawei's press event, Huawei's treated us to an early viewing of its new 8.4-millimeter smartphone, the Ascend P2.
