Abstract
Today, we have many fantastic digital technologies such as Internet, 3G mobile phone, and iPad. They have great impact on our daily life. They have changed our traditional reading habit, even the way of thinking. Moreover, they also lead to the revolution in media and publishing industry. The traditional paper publishing is gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, while the digital publishing is rising. Yet, what is perhaps the next generation of technology that will offer us a new landscape of future life?
When Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the Fluid Interface Group at the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Media Lab, presented his new invention named SixthSense, people realized that a new era of digital world would come soon. Compared with today’s digital technology, which have no link between our digital devices and our interactions with the physical world, the SixthSense brings intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allows us to interact with computer via natural hand gestures (Mistry, 2009).
Since the technology is very new, this research paper will simply analyze and observe the current data on the Internet and research paper related to such technology, and firstly shows how SixthSense rise, and then have an overview on some of its useful and interesting functions. Finally, this paper will focus on the potential influence on two specific domains, media and copyright issue of book publishing.
