Pranav Mistry:

The goal of Pranav Mistry is to close the gap between the digital and physical world. He strives to have both aspects work together to produce a seamless and interactive experience that doesn’t rely on a designated screen or stationary device.

The user is able to apply digital information relative to the item they may be utilizing such as a newspaper or a weather map, and could also be used for information regarding products, people, and places. There are countless possibilities for this type of “augmented reality” device.

•Turn every surface into an interactive platform for art, communication, education, recreation, or business.

•Interactive classrooms with sophisticated interface that rivals our best computers performance.

•Our world begins to mimic a Graphical User Interface, or GUI, thus creating a simple and efficient way of life in this complex world.

•Becomes a real life GPS that is far more interactive than our current technology.

•A world where a small business card has as much potential as our smartest phone.

•Eliminate the need for energy consuming computer screens.

Nothing can be and can not be one and at the same time and I am, I am Pranav Mistry.

-Pranav Mistry

Currently, I am a Research As-sistant and PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab. Before joining MIT I worked as a UX Researcher with Microsoft. I received my Master in Media Arts and Sciences from MIT and Master of Design from IIT Bombay. I have completed my bachelors degree in Computer Science and Engineer-ing. Palanpur is my hometown, which is situated in northern Gujarat in India.

Exposure to fields like Design to Technology and from Art to Psychology gave me a quite nice/interesting viewpoint to the world. I love to see technology from design perspective and vice versa. This vision reflects in almost all of my projects and research work as well. In short, I do what I love and I love what I do. I am a ‘Desigineer’.
