This video relates to IT 8 because it teaches us how we can connect the digital world and the physical world together. Also, it shows that the physical world and digital world are not all that different and how we can use modern technology to aid us in the physical world.


What I found Interesting


I found the taking photos with your hands option very interesting because we have only imagined doing that but with SixthSense Technology we can make that happen. Another option that I found interesting was the looking at your flight information by just looking at your ticket. Such as looking at your ticket and it will tell you the delay time.
