IN THIS NEW AGE OF TECHNOLOGIES THE MOST IMPORTANTINFORMATION THAT HELPS ONE TO MAKE RIGHT DECISION ISSOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE PERCEIVED AND ANALYSED BY OURNATURAL SENSES. THAT INFORMATION IS THE DATA IN THE

DIGITAL FORM, AND IT IS AVAILABLE TO EVERY ONE THROUGHSOURCES LIKE INTERNET. THE SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGYCONCEPT IS AN EFFORT TO CONNECT THIS DATA IN THE DIGITAL

WORLD IN TO THE REAL WORLD!!!!

INTRODUCTION

y Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface that

augments the physical world around us with digital

information and lets us use natural hand gestures to

interact with that information.

y It was developed by Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the

Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab.

y SixthSense bridges the gap by bringing intangible, digital

information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to

interact with this information via natural hand.

The sixth sense technology has a Web 4.0 view ofhuman and machine interactions.

The camera, mirror and projector is connected wirelesslyto a blue tooth smart phone device that can easily fit intothe users pocket. A software then processes the data

that is collected by the capturing device and producesanalysis.The software that is used in sixth sense device isopen source type. It captures the image of the object inview and track the users hand gesture. The camera

recognizes individuals, images, pictures, gestures thatuser makes with his hand. The camera then sends thisdata to a smart phone for processing. Basically the cameraforms a digital eye which connects to the world of digitalinformation

CAMERA

y Captures an object in view and Tracks theusers hand gestures.

y It sends the data to smart phone.

y It acts as a digital eye, connecting you to theworld of digital information.

PROJECTOR

y The projector projects visual information enabling

surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces.

y The project itself contains a batter y inside, with 3

hours of battery life.

y A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the smart

phone on any surface in view object, wall, or person.

y The usage of the mirror is significant as the

projector dangles pointing downwards from the neck.

y A Web enabled smart phone in the users pocketprocesses the video data.

y Color markers are at the tip of the users fingers .

y Marking the users fingers with red, yellow, green,

and blue tape helps the webcam recognize gestures.
