Calling this a 'sixth sense' is perfect and extremely accurate. I have envisioned a world approaching very quickly where metadata would be readily available at any given point. The irony is, I though the transaction for this metadata would occur in the cellphone. We'll not if the MIT guys have anything to do with it. Check this video out of a talk by Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry about their 'wearable tech' technology. It appears that the semantic web will not be in the browser after all!
