Just wait 'til we have holograms that push back.... O.O

Well, what do you guys think of his implementation? Do you think it is the true sixth sense? In the sense that this implementation still requires us to use a practical surface. Or do you believe sixth sense should be used for say holograms? E.g. Ionized particles/air of some sort that generate some sort of solidity, which provide the surface. However this sixth sense still lacks the features of the sixth sense concept. E.g. Saving of a paper into a file.

Also do you think this could replace our smart phones? Power, Speed, seems to pose no problem in production of a "sixth sense" mobile device. But what i am concerned with is due to the object more than likely being in a compact form (think tic tac container I guess) would this be unsuitable for the amount of heat to be generated from "high end sixth sense devices".

Personally I love the idea of sixth sense, and I wouldn't mind at all, it replacing smart phones or computers to a certain extent. It brings mobility of technology to a whole new level.

Don't worry Doped Diamond Processors are right around the corner... We're talking TeraHertz speeds.
