A PALANPUR YOUTH REINVENTS THE HUMBLE WATCH.

                        

     Pranav Mistry, a native of Palanpur, North Gujarat showcased the impossibly futuristic watch Gear "to the world." Mistry is the head of the Think Tank Team, Samsung Research America, who has designed the 'digital' watch that lets you check messages with a glance or make conversation 007 style, "With Gear, you're able to make calls and receive calls without even taking your phone out of your pocket, said Pranav Mistry. When he was about 11, he (Pranav) used to say, "Hu moto thaine bahu naam kamaish" ("I'll earn a lot of fame"), "said his father Kirtibhai." We never knew it will be soon Pranav was like any other child but his IQ powered him to the 1st rank in every academic year he spesystems at Vividhlakshi Vidyamandir, Palanpur.

                     He was good in every activity; be it studies, music (he sings) sports (plays badminton), "said the proud father I have studied in his mother tongue, Gujarati, and later joined Nirma University, Ahmedabad for his BE computer engineering. He went on to complete his post-graduation (industrial design) from IIT-Mumb which earned him a job with Microsoft in Hyderabad and a president's award from APJ Abdul Kalam He said, "From my engineering in computer science to my masters I worked on varied fields of interaction, robotics, computer graphics, HCI, AI, information graphics, embedded systems, soc computing, .. and the list goes on.

                        I explored the fields with different projects and research papers. Here some of my projects in brief. Tele Touch lets you touch and control things from a distance. See through your smart phone's camera and control everything you see on the screen by touching it. Now you can interact with your appliances from a distance, in a fun way. TV, alarm, music player, open the door, turn on that light ... Just by touching it on screen. It's simple. TeleTouch lets you interact with your world with touch from a distance Sparsh lets you conceptually transfer media from one digital device to your body and pass it to the other digital device by simple touch gestures. Touch whatever you want to copy from laptop, TV, smart phone, e to difiterej book reader etc. Now it is saved conceptully in you.

                       Next, touch the device you want to paste. SPARSH uses touch based interactions as an indication for what to copy, from where and where to pass it Sun Flower lets us track the sun. It is an artificial sunflower. With simple op-amp 741 circuitry & photo sensors I've created a sunflower which would move with the sun. Though later the concept was used in solar panels at his institute as the panels could get the most efficient angle each time the sense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. By using a camera and a tiny projector mounted in a pendant like wearable device, Sixth Sense 'see what you see and visually augments any surfaces or objects we are interacting with. Sixth Sense attempts to free information Six from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer.
