CONTENTS

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.

It was developed by Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab.

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.

SixthSense comprises a pocket projector, a mirror, a camera and a smartphone. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device.

INTRODUCTION

WHY SIXTH SENSE ???

physical world digital world

Sixth Sense allows people to use the internet without a screen or a keyboard

It can turn any surface into a touch screen It is made with store-bought components “The software program processes the video stream data

captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers [that you wear on your fingers] using simple computer-vision techniques”

According to a number of sources, graduate students at MIT have been working on this for the past four months “day and night”

THE BASICS…

REDUCES OUR WORK LOAD

Hereby Physical world is painted with the digital information.

You can carry your digital world with you wherever you go.

You can start with any wall or any surface as an interface even your palm.

This would make our quality of living much better because it would cut down on the cost of basic necessities such as cameras, laptops etc.

Everything would be at the tip of your fingers.

COMPONENTS

Captures an object in view and tracks the user’s hand gestures

It sends the data to smart phone

It acts as a digital eye, connecting you to the world of digital information

CAMERA

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

Other software searches the Web and interprets the hand gestures

SMART PHONE

The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces

The projector itself contains a battery inside, with 3 hours of battery life.

A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the smart phone on any surface in view–object, wall, or person

PROJECTOR

The usage of the mirror is significant as the projector dangles pointing downwards from the neck.

MIRROR

Mirror

It is at the tip of the user’s fingers .

Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green, and blue tape helps the webcam recognize gestures

The movements and arrangements of these makers are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces.

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 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.

ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES

   The product is still showing in the market. Now have a legal obligation, because the product itself changes.

However, the product is some security issues. Find some new IT security issues.

For example, when a person needs to use SixthSense picture is only a little sign of cap on the snap of his fingers.

CONCLUSION

Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around us, displaying 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

Allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures

The potential of becoming the ultimate "transparent" user interface for accessing information about everything around us

Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.....

Final words to say……

“”

Technology is an unbroken series of successful gestures.
