INTRODUCTION

Sixth sense is a wearable gesture interface that augments the physical world around us with the digital world.

This technology is developed by Pranav Mistry ,a PhD student of MIT Media Lab.

It lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with the digital world.

EVOLUTION OF THE TECHNOLOGY

Components

CAMERA

PROJECTOR

MIRROR

MOBILE COMPONENT

COLOUR MARKERS

CAMERA

Captures an object in view and tracks the users hand gestures.

Can recognize individuals, pictures, books etc.

Acts as an digital eye, connecting you to the world of digital information.

Sends data to the mobile device for processing.

PROJECTOR

The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects used as interfaces.

A tiny LED projector displays data sent from smart phone on any surface.

The projector itself contains a battery inside, with 3 hours of battery life.

MIRROR MOBILE

The downward facing projector projects the output

image on the mirror.

The mirror reflects image on the desired surface.

The web enabled smart phone in the

user’s pocket is used to process data.

COLOUR MARKERS

It is at the tip of the user’s fingers.

Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green, blue tape help the web cam recognize the gestures.

The movement and arrangement of these makers are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces

APPLICATIONS

TAKE PICTURES

If you fashion your index fingers and thumbs into a square ( “framing” gesture) we can take a snap.

ORGANIZE PICTURES

After taking the photos, we can project them onto a surface, and use gestures to sort through the photos, and organize and resize them.

ZOOMING FEATURES

We can arrange those pictures. The user can zoom in or zoom out by just using hand movements

GETS BOOK INFORMATION

The system can project Amazon ratings on that book, as well as reviews and all other relevant information.

FEED INFORMATION ON PEOPLE

The system will project some relevant information about a person such what he/she does, where they work, and so on.

GET FLIGHT UPDATES

The system will recognize your boarding pass and you know whether your flight is on time and if the gate has changed.

MAKE A CALL

You can use sixth sense to project a keypad onto your hand, then

use the that key pad to make a call.

CREATES MULTIMEDIA READING EXPERIENCES

Sixth sense can be programmed to project related videos onto

news paper articles you are reading.

DRAWING APPLICATION

The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the user’s index finger

CHECK THE TIME

Draw a circle on your wrist to get virtual watch that gives you the correct time

GETS PRODUCT INFORMATION

Sixth sense uses image recognition or marker technology to recognize products we pick up and feed us information on those products

ADVANTAGES

Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction

Portable

Connectedness between world and information

Cost effective

Data access directly from machine in real time

Mind map the idea anywhere

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.
