INTRODUCTION:
Sixth Sense is a wearable
gestural interface device that
augments the physical world with
digital information and lets people
use natural hand gestures to
interact with that information.

It was developed by

PRANAV MISTRY,[a PHD

student of MIT]

WHY SIXTH SENSE

??.......
technology eliminates

TECHNOLOGY

Sixth sense
the need of
the digital devices like mobile phones, laptops,
I pads etc. and lets us use any surface as an
interface and hardware for our application.

Pranav mistry
the different
components

MIRROR

showing

 Captures an object in view and tracks the users hand

gestures.
Can recognize individuals, pictures, books etc.
Acts as an digital eye, connecting you to the world of
digital information.
Sends data to the mobile device for processing.

 The projector projects visual information enabling

surfaces and physical objects used as interfaces.
A tiny led projector displays data sent from smart
phone on any surface.
The projector itself contains a battery inside, with
3 hours of battery life.

MIRROR AND MOBILE

The
downward
facing
projector projects the output
image on the mirror.
The mirror reflects image on
the desired surface.

The web enabled smart phon

in the users pocket is used to
process data.

Colour markers

It is at the tip of the users fingers.

Marking the users fingers with red, yellow, green, blue
tape help the web cam recognize the gestures
The movement and arrangement of these markers are
interpreted into gestures.

APPLICATIO
NSTAKE 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

GETS BOOK INFORMATION

The system can project
Amazon ratings on that book, as
well as reviews and all other
relevant information

CREATES MULTIMEDIA
READING EXPERIENCES
Sixth sense can be
programmed to project related
videos onto news paper articles
you are reading.
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

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.

DRAWING APPLICATION
The drawing application lets
the user draw on any surface by
tracking the fingertip movements
of the users index finger

CHECK THE TIME

Draw a circle on your wrist to
get virtual watch that gives you
the correct time

Call up a map
With the map application we can
call up the map of our choice and then
use thumbs and index fingers to
navigate the map

Advantages.
.

Portable

Inexpensive
Connectedness between the world and information
It is an open source
Data access directly from machine in real time..

Limitations.
There is no privacy while capturing picture of someone even
a person dont knows you are capturing his picture.
Projection is not better in morning and bright areas.
It is not used for a long period of time.
This device is not projecting on a hard surface.

Future of sixth
sense:
To get rd
of color markers.
3D visualizations.
Interactive Advertisements
To make sixth sense work as fifth sense for disabled person.

The key here is that Sixth Sense recognizes the

objects around you, displaying information
automatically and letting you access it in any way
you want, in the simplest way possible.
