The document describes SixthSense, a wearable device created by MIT scientists that bridges the gap between digital and physical information. It allows any surface to become a touchscreen controlled by hand gestures, enabling the user to access information from the internet by pointing at real-world objects or making gestures in the air. Some examples given include retrieving news articles by pointing at a newspaper, taking pictures with a framing gesture, and projecting a watch or map with different gestures. The prototype demonstrates potential applications and flexibility of integrating digital information with the physical world through simple gestures.
