- 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. • SixthSense bridges the gap by bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand. • SixthSense comprises a pocket projector, a mirror, a camera and a smartphone. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device.
- 4. Why SIXTH SENSE ?
- 5. COMPONENTS • Camera • Projector • Mirror • Colored caps • Phone
- 6. 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
- 7. Color 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.
- 8. Smart Phone • A Web-enabled smart phone in the user’s pocket processes the data • Other software searches the Web and interprets the hand gestures
- 9. Projector • The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces • The projector 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.
- 10. Mirror MIRROR • The usage of the mirror is significant as the projector dangles pointing downwards from the neck.
- 11. SOFTWARE PART It allows the computer of the sixth sense technology “device to do what it does. Software could be coded in any language like in java, C++ etc. Approx 50,000 lines of code are used. Processing is happening in the mobile phone ,and basically works on computer vision algorithms “ . ” .
- 12. How it works ? capture • Images Send for • Pictures processing • Gestures Send Info Reflect on Project image desired Info on surface surface
- 13. • 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. APPLICATIONS
- 15. CHECK THE TIME • Draw a circle on your wrist to get a virtual watch that gives you the correct time WATCH VIDEOS • Sixth Sense can be programmed to project related videos onto newspaper articles you are reading
- 16. MAKE A CALL • You can use the Sixth Sense to project a keypad onto your hand, then use that virtual keypad to make a call. CALL UP A MAP • With the map application we can call up the map of our choice and then use thumbs and index fingers to navigate the map
- 17. DRAWING APPLICATION • The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the user’s index finger. ZOOMING FEATURES • The user can zoom in or zoom out using intuitive hand movements.
- 18. GET PRODUCT INFORMATION • Sixth Sense uses image recognition or marker technology to recognize products we pick up, then feeds us information on those products BOOK INFORMATION • The system can project Amazon ratings on that book, as well as reviews and other relevant information
- 19. GET FLIGHT UPDATES • The system will recognize your boarding pass and let you know whether your flight is on time and if the gate has changed. .
- 20. TAKE PICTURES • If you fashion your index fingers and thumbs into a square ("framing" gesture), the system will snap a photo. ORGANIZE PHOTOS • After taking the desired number of photos, we can project them onto a surface, and use gestures to sort through the photos, and organize and resize them.
- 21. ADVANTAGES • Connectedness between world and information. • Data access directly from machine in real time. Portable. • Inexpensive. • OPEN SOURCE.
- 22. CONCLUSION • Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around us, displaying information automatically and letting us to access it in any way we need • The Sixth Sense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system • Allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures
