“ Sixth Sense Technology ” was invented by “ PRANAV MISTRY”.

He is a PhD candidate at “MIT LABS” .

His research on sixth sense was awarded the 2009 invention award by POPULAR SCIENCE .

He has also invented MOUSELESS ,SPARSH etc.

THE INVENTOR

PRANAV MISTRY

"You see things and you say 'why?' But I dream things that never were and I say ,“Why not?," once said George .The same

philosophy has been driving Pranav Mistry, the Indian technology wizard behind Six Sense Technology.

'Sixth Sense' is a “wearable gestural interface” that breaks the conventional model of accessing the digital

information via electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers.

The technology allows users to be part of the physical world and still access digital information existing on the

World Wide Web by using natural hand gestures to interact with that info.

INTRODUCTION

The Sixth Sense

WHY SIXTH SENSE ONLY

We use our five natural senses to perceive information around us; that information helps us make decisions.

But arguably the most useful information that can help us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with our five senses .

The computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually connected to the digital world.

There is no link between digital devices and our interactions with physical world.

Sixth Sense bridges this gap, allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures.

HARDWARE COMPONENTS

The Sixth Sense interface is a combination of a very simple hardware component and these are:-

CAMERA

MICROPHONE

PROJECTOR

MIRROR

COLOR MAKERS

INTERNET ENABLED MOBILE

SENSORS

.

WORKING MECHANISM

.

FEATURES OF SIXTH SENSE TECH.

.

.

Make a Phone Call .

Zoom in & out .

Snap a Picture .

Picture Editing .

Scan A Book .

Recognize identity of a person.

Project a Analog Clock , Etc.

Snap a Picture If we use the index finger and thumb of both the hands to form a rectangle (“framing gesture”),the system will snap a photo. We can project them on a surface .

Make Phone Call A person is required to

touch digital keys on one’s palm or whichever surface he decides to project and Dial the number and make a call.

SCAN A BOOKIf a book is projected

infront of the projector then , It can scan a book and it can present detailed reviews and even summaries of that same book.

DRAW IMAGES One can also draw different images on any surface by the movement of index finger which is tracked by the device .

CREATE DOCUMENT

ZOOM IN & OUT

This will help a user to create a document by taking part from various places and then print that document.

A person can zoom in or zoom out using intutive hand movements.

ADVANTAGES

Portable.

Cost effective.

It is open source.

Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction.

Bridges the gap batween real world and information.
