- 3. Introduction • Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with 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. • Sixth Sense bridges the gap by bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand • Sixth Sense comprises a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device

- 5. Camera • Captures an object in view and tracks the user’s hand gestures • It sends the data to smart phone • It acts as a digital eye, connecting you to the world of digital information
- 6. Projector • The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces • The project itself contains a battery inside, with 3 hours of battery life. • A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the smart phone on any surface in view–object, wall, or person.
- 7. • The usage of the mirror is significant as the projector dangles pointing downwards from the neck. • A Web-enabled smart phone in the user’s pocket processes the video data • Other software searches the Web and interprets the hand gestures Smart Phone Mirror
- 8. Colored Markers • It is at the tip of the user’s fingers . • Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green, and blue tape helps the webcam recognize gestures • The movements and arrangements of these makers are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces.
- 9. How does it work?
- 10. • The hardware that makes Sixth Sense work is a pendant like mobile wearable interface. • It has a camera, a mirror and a projector and is connected wirelessly to a bluetooth smart phone that can slip comfortably into one’s pocket. • The camera recognizes individuals, images, pictures, gestures one makes with their hands. • Information is sent to the Smartphone for processing. • The downward-facing projector projects the output image on to the mirror. • Mirror reflects image on to the desired surface. • Thus, digital information is freed from its confines and placed in the physical world.

- 14. Advantages • SixthSense is an user friendly interface which integrates digital information into the physical world and its objects, making the entire world your computer. • SixthSense does not change human habits but causes computer and other machines to adapt to human needs. • It uses hand gestures to interact with digital information. • Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction • Data access directly from machine in real time • It is an open source and cost effective and we can mind map the idea anywhere • It is gesture-controlled wearable computing device that feeds our relevant information and turns any surface into an interactive display. • It is portable and easy to carry as we can wear it in our neck. • The device could be used by anyone without even a basic knowledge of a keyboard or mouse. • There is no need to carry a camera anymore. If we are going for a holiday, then from now on wards it will be easy to capture photos by using mere fingers
- 15. Future Enhancements • To get rid of color markers • To incorporate camera and projector inside mobile computing device. • Applying this technology in various interest like gaming, education systems, army field etc. • To have 3D gesture tracking. • To make sixth sense work as fifth sense for disabled person.
- 16. Conclusion • The key here is that Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around you, displaying information automatically and letting you access it in any way you want, in the simplest way possible. • If they can get rid of the colored finger caps and it ever goes beyond the initial development phase. • Sixth sense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system. • In simple, it is almost like installing a digital system (computer) into our body and further making it as sixth sense of our body
