A Sixth Human Sense?

After reading an article titled "TED: MIT Students Turn Internet Into A Sixth Human Sense" (wired.com), I finished feeling curious and slightly concerned of the potential advancements of technology in our everyday world.  Although this new invention seems like it could be extremely useful, I can also see how this might cross some lines of privacy and personal space.  

It also appears  to be more trouble than it's worth to me.  It seems like a lot of work to figure out and produce these images on different surfaces, and also seems a lot less private than looking at a personal computer or PDA.

I am interested to see how this develops and hope that it turns into a product that creates life a little easier, without compromising personal information and human contact.
