Sixth Sense Technology

INTRODUCTION
Sixth sense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with the digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information It was developed by Pranav Mistry a PhD student in the fluid interfaces group at the MIT media lab

WHY SIXTH SENSE???

WHY SIXTH SENSE?

REDUCES OUR WORK LOAD

HISTORY

COMPONENTS
Camera Projector Mirror Mobile Component Coloured Markers

CAMERA

Captures an object in view and tracks the users hand gestures It acts as a digital eye

PROJECTOR

The projector projects the visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces

Mirror
The usage of mirror is significant as the projector dangles pointing downwards from the neck

Mobile

A web enabled smart phone in the users pocket processes the video data

Coloured markers
It is at the tip of users fingers Marking the users fingers with red, yellow, green and blue tapes helps the web cam recognizes the gestures

ADVANTAGES
Portable Supports multi touch and multi user interaction Connects the digital world and physical world Effective cost Data access directly from the machine in real time Map the idea anywhere It is an open source

CONCLUSION
Sixth sense recognizes the objects around us, displaying information automatically and letting us to access it in any way we need. In simple, it is almost like installing a digital system (computer) into our body and further making it as sixth sense of our body The sixth sense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system. Allowing us to interact with the information via natural hand gestures.
