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.

Basic five senses: Taste,Smell,Sight,Sound,Touch.

New object/Experience -> Analysis By Senses ->Decision.

Something that our senses dont have is data.

In simple words, bridges the gap between physical world

and digital world.

Working of SixthSense

Components

Camera

Projector

Mirror

Mobile Component

Color Markers

Camera

Captures and recognises an object in view and tracks the

users hand gestures using computer-vision based
techniques.
It sends the data to the smart phone.

Acts as a digital eye, tracks the movements and gestures.

Projector

The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces,

walls and physical objects around us to be used as
interfaces.

A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the smart

phone on any surface in viewobject, wall, or person.

Mobile Component

The mobile devices like Smartphone in our pockets transmit

and receive voice and data anywhere and to anyone via the
mobile internet.

A Web-enabled smart phone in the users pocket processes

the video data. Other software searches the Web and
interprets the hand gestures.

Color Markers

It is at the tip of the users fingers. Marking the users

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.

Conclusion

A Technology that has potential to change the way we

interact with object.

Has the ability to bring intangible digital data out in the

tangible world.

Can make your entire world a computer.

Apply it till your imagination goes.
