Awesome Human-Computer Interface Video Demonstrations

I was recently perusing the Interweb when I stumbled upon a goldmine of awesome tech videos. The site is called Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED). If you haven’t heard of this site before, I highly recommend checking it out if you’re interested in awe-inspiring talks by some of the brightest people in their respective tech fields.

Here are three of my favorites. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Pattie Maes & Pranav Mistry: Unveiling the “Sixth Sense,” game-changing wearable tech
