"Malaysia's forward-thinking government has laid out powerful new academic and research initiatives making it the ideal location for our newest partnership. We look forward to joining Malaysia in this next phase of their evolution." - official statement by MIT



MIT didn't change their name to "university" but always in top 5 ranking in this world??

actually what does it takes to be the best??

based on the research done before, what Malaysia really lack behind is the good educational researches done in the local universities.

1/2 of Malaysia oversea students not return home!, Malaysia universities ~ 6.66x lack researches compared to developed countries (News)

look here, this guy is a MIT student showing very awesome Artificial Intelligence 6th sense technology

he show how he got the idea.. ohh brilliant!



MIT Students Turn Internet Into a Sixth Human Sense


LONG BEACH, California — Students at the MIT Media Lab have developed a wearable computing system that turns any surface into an interactive display screen. The wearer can summon virtual gadgets and internet data at will, then dispel them like smoke when they’re done.

Pattie Maes of the lab’s Fluid Interfaces group said the research is aimed at creating a new digital "sixth sense" for humans.

In the tactile world, we use our five senses to take in information about our environment and respond to it, Maes explained. But a lot of the information that helps us understand and respond to the world doesn’t come from these senses. Instead, it comes from computers and the internet. Maes’ goal is to harness computers to feed us information in an organic fashion, like our existing senses.

The prototype was built from an ordinary webcam and a battery-powered 3M projector, with an attached mirror — all connected to an internet-enabled mobile phone. The setup, which costs less than $350, allows the user to project information from the phone onto any surface — walls, the body of another person or even your hand.

Maes showed a video of her student Pranav Mistry who she describes as the brains behind the project. Mistry wore the device on a lanyard around his neck, and colored Magic Marker caps on four fingers (red, blue, green and yellow) helped the camera distinguish the four fingers and recognize his hand gestures with software that Mistry created.

The gestures can be as simple as using his fingers and thumbs to create a picture frame that tells the camera to snap a photo, which is saved to his mobile phone. When he gets back to an office, he projects the images onto a wall and begins to size them.

and then guess.. who take his research.. it's Bill Gates and Microsoft!

Microsoft show this demonstration of future computer technology.. actually it was based on MIT student research!
