What it is

Pranav Mistry demos SixthSense, a wearable device that projects information onto the physical world and lets people interact with data through gestures. He also shows a paper "laptop" and says he will open-source the software.

Why Hacker News recommends it

Mostly cited as the origin of ideas later commercialized by products like Humane's projector, and sometimes as a demo that never took off.
