We must have heard about the name “Pranav Mistry” on the internet. He is famous for his brilliant inventions in the world of technology. He is well known for his works on SixthSense, QUiCKiES, Mouseless, SPARSH and many more.
Let’s move forward by discussing these magnificent inventions by Pranav Mistry:
About some of the most famous works by Pranav Mistry:
1.SixthSense
SixthSense is a wearable interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural everyday hand gestures to interact with that information. By wearing just a hat with a tiny projector and a camera, user can make any flat surface as a connection to the world to check emails, finding locations, drawing with gestures etc.

2.QUiCKiES
Sticky notes are so important for us to keep a tab on our daily tasks, reminders, to-do lists and make a note of other types of information. What “Quickies” does is that it intelligently reminds us of our commitments via mobile phone, email, messaging clients, alerts etc that are integrated with the system.
The notes made on the physical sticky notes are interpreted through a software program and it is linked to mobile phones, email calendars so that the users are timely notified and never forgotten about their commitments.
Users can also browse through all the notes using a computer and also search for a particular note using keywords.

3.Mouseless
Mouseless is an invisible mouse that provides the familiarity of interaction of a physical mouse without actually needing a real hardware mouse. This MIT graduate has removed the dependency of the physical mouse and has made your hand itself a mouse, using gesture recognition, Infrared lasers and computer vision algorithms.

4.SPARSH
SPARSH, is an interaction method which lets you conceptually transfer media from one device to your body and pass it to other device by simple touch gestures. So basically, you yourself act as a pathway for your media transfer.
You can copy pictures from your phone and paste it to your laptop or tablet, copy a phone number from computer and paste it in your mobile phone, transfer and address received as sms to google maps on computer and many such things at ease.
