MIT Grad To Make Digital "SixthSense" Open Source

yuveraj writes to mention that Pranav Mistry, the brain behind the
innovative "SixthSense" application demoed earlier this year, plans to
open source the technology in order to get this to the streets faster.
"Mistry’s decision has meaning beyond Sixth Sense. The desire of
inventors is always to get their work into the market as quickly as
possible. Usually this means waiting for it to be turned into a
useful, profitable invention. Mistry is bypassing this by going
straight to open source. There is no report on which license he will
use, but whichever one he does choose he has put paid to the canard
that open source and innovation are incompatible, for all time."
