INTRODUCTIONSixth sense is a wearable gesture interface
that aguments physical world around us with digital world.
It lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with digital world.
It comprises pocket projector ,a mirror and camera . The hardware components are coupled independent like mobile wearable device.
HISTORY
Sixth Sense is a gesture based wearable computer system developed at MIT Media Lab by Steve Mann in 1994 and 1997 (head worn gestural interface), and 1998 (neck worn version).
Further developed by Pranav Mistry (also at MIT Media Lab), in 2009, both of whom developed both hardware and software for both head worn and neck worn versions of it.
componentsCameraProjectorMirror Mobile Colour markers
CAMERA
Captures an object in view and tracks the users hand gestures.
It sends data to smart phone.It acts as digital eye ,connecting
you to the world of digital information
PROJECTOR
The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces.
A tiny LED project displays data sent from the smart phone on the any surface in view- object, wall or any person.
Mirror
The usage of mirror is significant as the project dangles pointing downwards from the neck.
Mobile
A web enabled smart phone in users pocket processes the vedio data.
Other software searches the web and interprets the hand gestures
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
Working•The hardware that makes Sixth Sense work is a pendant like mobile wearable interface.
•It has a camera, a mirror and a projector and is connected wirelessly to a Bluetooth or 3G or wi-fi smart phone that can slip comfortably into one’s pocket.
• The camera recognizes individuals, images, pictures, gestures one makes with their hands.
•Information is sent to the Smartphone for processing.
•The downward-facing projector projects the output image on to the mirror.
•Mirror reflects image on to the desired surface.
•Thus, digital information is freed from its confines and placed in the physical world.
How it works?
ApplicationsTAKE PICTURES
If you fashion your index fingers and thumbs into a square ( “framing” gesture) we can take a snap.
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
ABOUT BOOK INFORMATION
Maes says Sixth Sense uses image recognition or marker technology to recognize products you pick up , then feeds you information on books. The system can project Amazon ratings on that book, as well as reviews and other relevant information.
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.
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
DRAWING APPLICATIONThe 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
The sixth sense also implements map which lets the user display the map on any physical surface and find his destination and he can use his thumbs and index fingers to navigate the map
CALL UP A MAP
Advantages
Portable.Support multi touch and multi user interaction.Cost effective($330).Data access directly from machines in real time.Open source software
Disadvantages Hardware limitation of the devices ,that we are currently
carry around us. For example many phones will not allow the external
camera feed to be manipulated in real time. Post processing can occur however.
ConclusionSixth sense recognizes the object around us, displaying the
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.
The potential of becoming the ultimate “transparent” user interface for accessing information about everything around us.
Allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures.
