I thought something similar to this but not exactly like you described it.

Initially, I had the impression that this "SixthSense" phenomenon was one of those concepts tagged as "Fake It Until You Make It", but apparently, it was not. Probably, there was no PoC, just some cinematic-video "montage" to create a buzz around it, then soon, it evaporated.

IMHO, a close comparison to this in recent years is probably "Theranos" & "Nikola", where they created the buzz, in fact, a lot of hype for something that did not exist in the first place.
