It is my belief that Web 3.0 is the integration of digital content into our daily physical lives. The MIT Media Lab are working on a prototype called SixthSense that takes a leap forward in this quest. To better acquaint you with their vision, here are a few key elements from the project’s creators:
|
“‘SixthSense’ is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.” | |
|
“The SixthSense prototype is comprised of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks user’s hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques | |
In other words, the device projects a web interface on most surfaces and allows for physical interaction. Web sites and software will be unleashed into a whole new realm of possibilities for both creators and users!

SixthSense is a great new device. I’ve seen its presentation on TED web site a while ago. I think it can complete change the way we interact with technology and information. Though only when its small in size.
From what I know of the question and the research I have done on it, it looks like you could become an Assistance professor with a masters degree from an accredited institution in business, business management, business administration,or JD or LL.B degree; OR a bachelors in economics with a business emphasis AND masters in personnel management, public administration. Sometimes it can very on what state you live in and what college you would like to teach at. Everyone has their own qualifications but I would say with a Bachelors degree, no you could not become a professor but could possibly become an assistant professor. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your generous gift following the fantastic ideas shared here. I am a college tutor and I came across result-oriented things as I went through your article. The school shall soon be organizing a discussion for the students and I would like you to share more ideas, maybe through a video clip, with the students on this topic. Of course, I’ll get in touch with you as soon as the time comes. We’re really happy to discover that some experts on this topic have a web page like yours in which people can find out more. Wonderful post. Thoughts cannot express the particular gratitude we feel. Your generosity will be remembered usually. Thank you.
Experiencing gratitude rather than indicating it is just like gift wrapping a present and never creating.
