INTRODUCTIONSixth Sense is a wearable gesture interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets you use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. It is developed by Pranav Mistry,a Phd student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT media lab. Sixth sense prototype is comprised of - a pocket projector,a mirror and a camera.

The camera,mirror and projector are connected wirelessly to bluetooth smartphone device that can easily fit into user's pocket.A software then processes the data that is collected by capturing device and produces analysis.

Why sixth sense

Hereby physical world is painted with digital

information.

You can carry your digital world with you

wherever you go.

You can start with any wall or any other

surface as an interface even your palm.

COMPONENTS

1) CAMERA

2) PROJECTOR

3) COLOR MARKERS

4) MIRROR

1) CAMERA:

It captures an object in view and tracks the

users hand gestures.

It sends data to smartphone.

It acts as a digital eye,connecting you to

world of digital information.

2) PROJECTOR:

The projector projects visual information enabling

surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces.

The projector contains a battery inside with 3 hours of

battery life.

A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the

smartphone on any surface in view.

3) COLOR MARKERS:

It is at the tip of user's fingers.

Marking the user's fingers with color tapes

helps the web cam recognize gestures.

The movements and arrangements of these

markers are interpreted into gestures that act as

instructions for projected application interfaces.

4) MIRROR:

The usage of mirror is significant as the

projector dangles pointing downwards from

the neck.

SMARTPHONE:

A web enabled smartphone in user's pocket

processes the video data.

Other software searches web and interprets

the hand gestures.

WORKING:

Firstly,the images, pictures or gestures

are captured by the camera.

These images are then send to smartphone

for processing.

After being processed,the information is

send to the projector.

The projector projects the images onto the

mirror.

The mirror displays the information on the

desired surface.

APPLICATIONS

1) Check the time: Draw a circle on your

wrist to get a virtual watch that gives you

correct time.

2) Create multimedia reading experiences:

Sixth sense can be programmed to project

related videos onto newspaper articles

you are reading.

3) Make a call:

You can use sixth sense to project keypad

onto your hand,then virtual keypad to make a

call.

4) Call a map:

With map application,we can call up map of

our choice and then use thumbs and index

fingers to navigate a map.

5) Drawing application:

By using sixth sense prototype,we can draw

on any surface by using our fingers.

6 ) Zooming features:

By using sixth sense prototype,the user can

zoom in or zoom out pictures by using

intuitive hand movements.

ADVANTAGESPortable

Connects digital world and physical world.

Supports multitouch and multiuser

interaction.

Cost effective

Data access directly from machine in real

time.

CONCLUSIONSixth sense recognizes the objects around

us,displaying information automatically and

letting us to access it in anyway we need.

In simple,it is almost like installing a digital

system(computer) into our body and further

making it as sixth sense of our body.

The sixth sense prototype implements several

applications that demonstrate the usefulness

and flexibility of system.
