Camera Projector Mirror Mobile Component Colored Markers CAMERA

Captures an object in view andtracks the users hand gestures

It sends the data to smart phone

It acts as a digital eye,connecting you to the world of digitalinformation PROJECTOR The projector projects visual informationenabling surfaces and physical objects tobe used as interfacesThe project itself contains a batteryinside, with 3 hours of battery

life.A tiny LED projector displays data sentfrom the smart phone on any surface inviewobject, wall, or person. MIRROR The usage of the mirror is significant asthe projector dangles p ointingdownwards from the neck. SMART PHONE A Web-enabled smart phone in theusers pocket processes the video

dataOther software searc hes the Web andinterprets the hand gestur
es

COLOR MARKERS It is at the tip of the users fingers.Marking the users fingers with red,yellow, green, and blue tape helps thewebcam recognize gesturesThe movements and arrangements of these makers are interpreted intogestures that act as in

teractioninstructions for the projected applicationinterfaces. HOW IT WORKS? The hardware that makes Sixth Sensework is a pendant like mobile wearableinterfaceIt has a camera, a mirror and a projector and is connected wirelessly to aBluetooth smart phone that can slipcomfortably into ones pocketThe camera recognizes

individuals,images, pictures, gestures one makeswith their handsInformation is sent t o the Smartphonefor processing

The downward-facing projector projectsthe output image on to the mirror Mirror reflects image on to the desiredsurfaceThus, digital information is freed fromits confines and placed in the physicalworld RELATED TECHNOLOGIES

Augmented reality is a term for alive direct or indirect view of a physicalreal world environment whose elementsare augmented by virtual computer generated imagery.

Gesture recognition is a topic incomputer science and l anguagetechnology with the goal of

interpretinghuman gesture s via mathematicalalgorith ms.

Computer vision is the sci enceand technology of machines that see. Itis concerned with the theory behindartificial systems that extract informationfrom images.

Radio Frequency Identification isbasically an electronic t

aggingtechnology that allows the detection,tracking of tags and consequently theobje cts that they are affixed to. APPLICATIONSMake a call You can use the Sixth Sense to project akeypad onto your hand, then use that virtual keypad to make a call. Call up a map With the map application we can call upthe map of our choice

and then use thumbs and index fingers to navigate themap Check the time Draw a circle on your wrist to get a virtual watch that gives you the correcttime Create multimedia readin g experiences Sixth Sense can be programmed toproject related videos o nto newspaper articles you are reading

Drawing application The drawing application l ets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fin gertip movements of the users indexfinger Zooming features The user can zoom in or zoom out usingintuitive hand movements Get product information Sixth Sense uses image recognition or marker technology to recognize productswe pick up, and

then feeds usinformation on those products Get book information

The system can project Amazon ratingson that book, as w ell as reviews and other relevant information Get flight updates The system will recognize your boardingpass and let you know whether your flight is on time and if the gate has changed. Feed information on people

The system will project relevantinformation about a person such as whatthey do, where they work, and so on. Take pictures If you fashion your index fingers andthumbs into a square ("framing"gesture), the system will snap a photo.After taking the desired number of photos, we can project them onto asurface, and use gestures

to sort throughthe photos, and organize and resizethem. ADVANTAGES Portable Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction Connectedness between worldand information Cost effective

Data access directly from machine in real time

Mind map the idea anywhere

It is an open source CONCLUSION Sixth Sense recognizes the objectsaround us, displaying informationautomatically and letting us to access itin any way we needThe Sixth

Sense prototype implementsseveral applications that demonstrate theusefulness, viability and flexibility of thesystemAllowing us to interact with thisinformation via natural hand gesturesThe potential of becoming the ultimate"transparent" user interface for accessinginformation about everything around us
