SIXTH SENSEDEFINATION

 A special ability to feel or see things without using the usual five senses of sight,hearing, touch, smell, or taste

 OR

 A power of perception seemingly independent of the five senses, keen intuition

INTRODUCTION

SixthSense 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 PARNAV MISTRY, a PhD

student in the fluid interfaces group at the MIT

media lab.

Sixth sense comprises a pocket projector,a

mirror and acamera.The hardware components

are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable

device.

CAMERA

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 tou to

the world of digital information

PROJECTOR

The projector projects visual information

enabling surfaces and physical objects to

be used as interfaces The project itself contain a battery

inside,with 3 hours of battery life.

MIRROR

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

MOBILE COMPONENT

 A web enabled smart phone in the user¶s pocketprocesses the video data

Other software searches the web and interprets the handgestures.

COLORED MARKERS

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

Marking the users fingers with red,yellow,green,and blue with the help of wepcam recognize

gestures The movements nad arrangments of these

markers are interpreted into gestures that act asinteractions for the projecjted applicationinterfaces.

HOW

IT WORKS????

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/presentation-of-sixth-sense 11/22

The hardware that makes Sixth Sense work is apendant like mobile wearable interface.

It has a camera,a mirror and a projector and isconnected wirelessly to a bluetooth smart phonethat can slip comfortable into one¶s pocket.

The camera recognizes

individuals,images,pictures,gestures one makeswith their hands.

Information is sent to the smart phone for processing.

The domnload facing projector projects theoutput image on to the mirror.

Mirror reflects image on to the desired surface.

Thus,digital information is freed from its confinesand places in the physical world

RELATED TECHNOLOGIES

 Augmented reality is aterm for a live direct or indirectview of a physical real world environment whoseelements are augmented by virtual computer generatedimagery.

Gestures recognition is a topic in computer sciense andlanguage technology with the goal of interpreting humangestures via mathematical algorithms.

Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that see.It is concerned with the thoery behindartificial systems that extract information from images.

Radio Frequency identification is basically an electronictagging technology that allows the detection,tracking of tags and consequently the objects that they are affixed

to.

CHECK THE TIME

Draw circle image on the wrist to get a virtual watch that gives you the

correct time.

CRE ATING MULTIMEDIARE ADING EXPERIENCES

Sixth sense can be programmed toproject related videos onto news papersarticles you are reading

DRAW APPLIC ATIONS

To draw application , let the user drawon any surface by tracking the finger tipmovements to the users index finger.

GET BOOK  INFORMATION

The system can project Amazon ratings

on that book as well as reviews and otherrelevant information.

GET FLIGHT UPD ATES

The system will recognized yourboarding pass and let you knowwhether your flight is on time and if the gate has changed or not.

TAKE PICTURES BY USING YOUR H ANDS

If you fashion your index fingersand thumbs into a square (framing"gesture), the system will snap aphoto.

ZOOMING FACTOR

 After taking the desired numberof photos, we can project themonto surface, and use the gesturesto sort through the photos, andorganized and resize them.

The user can zoom out usingintuitive hand movements.

FEED INFORMATION ONPEOPLE

The system will project relevant information about a person such aswhat they do, where they work, andso on.

CONCLUSION

Sixth Sense recognize the objects aroundus,displying information automaically and lettingus to access it in any way we need

The Sixth Sense prototype implements several

applications that demonstrate theusefulness,viability and flexibility of the system.

 Allowing us to interact with this information vianatural hand gestures.

The potentioal of beconing the ultimate´Transparent´ user interface for accessinginformation about everything around us.
