INTRODUCTION Sixth Sense Technology integrates digital information
into the physical world and its objects , making the entire world , your computer.
It can turn any surface into a touch-screen for computing , controlled by simple hand gesture.
It is named “SIXTH SENSE”as it recognizes objects around us and give information about them.
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 to the world of digital information .
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 .
Mirror
The mirror reflects the projection coming out from the projector and thus helps in projecting onto the desired locations on walls and surfaces .
The mirror in the SIXTH SENSE helps in upcoming the limitation of the limited projection space of the projector.
Mobile Computing Device
The sixth sense system uses a mobile computing device in user’s pocket as a processing device.
This device can be a mobile phone or small laptop computer.
The mobile computing device is also connected to the internet via 3G network or
wireless connection.
Colored Markers
It is at the tip of the user’s fingers.
Marking the user’s fingers with red,yellow,blue and green tape helps the webcam recognize gestures.
Make a callWe can use the sixth sense to
project a keypad onto our hand
,then use that virtual keypad to
make a call.
Call up a MapWith the map application we
can call up the map of our
choice then use thumbs and
index fingers to navigate the
map.
Check the TimeDraw a circle on your wrist to get
a virtual watch that gives you the
correct time.
Create multimedia reading experiences
Sixth sense can be programmed
to project related videos onto
newspaper articles you are
reading
Drawingapplications
The drawing application lets the
user draw on any surface by
tracing the finger tip movements
of user’s index finger.
.Zooming features
The user can zoom in or zoom
out using hand movements
Take picturesIf we fashion our index finger
and thumbs into a square
(“FRAMING” gesture),the
system will snap a photo.
Get any informationThe system can project ratings on
book , as well as reviews .Sixth
sense feeds us information about
any product.we can get flight
updates.
ADVANTAGESPortable
Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction
Connection between world and information
Cost effective
Mind map the idea anywhere
CONCLUSIONAllowing us to interact with any information via
natural hand gestures.
Sixth sense recognizes the objects around us , displaying information automatically and letting us to access it in any way we need.
