WHAT IS SIXTH SENSE ?

“Sixth Sense” is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use our hand gestures to interact with that information.

This technology was proposed by STEVE MANN and the concept was further developed by PRANAV MISTRY, a Indian student at MIT Media Lab.
