OmniTouch - Demo Video - ACM UIST 2011
OmniTouch is a wearable depth-sensing and projection system that enables interactive multitouch applications on everyday surfaces. Beyond the shoulder-worn system, there is no instrumentation of the user or environment. Foremost, the system allows the wearer to use their hands, arms and legs as graphical, interactive surfaces. Users can also transiently appropriate surfaces from the environment to expand the interactive area (e.g., books, walls, tables). On such surfaces - without any calibration - OmniTouch provides capabilities similar to that of a mouse or touchscreen: X and Y location in 2D interfaces and whether fingers are "clicked" or hovering, enabling a wide variety of interactions. Thus, it is now conceivable that anything one can do on today's mobile devices, they could do in the palm of their hand.

Neurosky - mind reader
NeuroSky has developed a cost effective bio sensor and signal processing system for the consumer market. Our wearable technology unlocks worlds of new applications such as consumer electronics, health, wellness, education and training.
The neurons that comprise the brain work on electrical impulses. The last century of neurological research has shown us that brainwaves of different wavelengths indicate different emotional states, like a focused awareness, a meditative state, or drowsiness. Brainwaves have been used in medical research and therapy for years. We're bringing it to the consumer world.

Shifting Assumptions in Science
Uploaded by cogito2 on Jan 24, 2011
Selected discussions from the 'Hokkaido-8' symposium of July 2008 on Evolving Science. The theme of the discussions was the evolution of science from its current form, with its materialistic emphasis, to a more inclusive global form, integrating all aspects of knowledge. Discussion participants: Osman Bakar, Brian Josephson, Yasuhiko Genku Kimura, Manjir Samanta-Laughton, Elisabet Sahtouris (convener), Akio Shoji, Enoé Texier, William Tiller and Caroline Ward (facilitator).
Videoing: Aleph Inc.; editing: Brian Josephson, Manjir Samanta-Laughton and Elisabet Sahtouris
