SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY

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

COMPONENTS

CameraProjectorMirrorMobile ComponentColoured Markers

CAMERA

Captures an object in view and tracks the user’s 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

A web enabled smart phone in the user’s pocket processes the video data

Mobile

Coloured markers

It is at the tip of user’s fingers

Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green and blue tapes helps the web cam recognizes the gestures

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.
