3. Introduction:-
Sixth Sense is a tool that connects the physical world with
the world of data.
The Sixth Sense covers the phenomenon of:
1. Telepathy
2. Precognition
3. Retro Cognition
4. psychometric

4. Origin:-
 The sixth sense technology was developed
by Pranav Mistry at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT).
 He has been awarded 2009 invention
award by Popular science.
 They created a device that can turn any
surface into a touch-screen for computer,
controlled by simple hand gestures.

5. Components:-
The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like
mobile wearable device.
Camera
Projector
Mirror
Mobile components
Colored Markers

6. 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 you to the world of digital information

7. PROJECTOR
The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to
be used as interfaces
 The project itself contains a battery inside, with 3 hours of battery life
 A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the smart phone on any surface in
view-object,wall or person

8. MIRROR
MIRROR
• The usage of the mirror is significant as the projector dangles pointing downwards
from the neck
SMART PHONE
• A web-enabled Smart phone in the user’s pocket processes the video data
• Other software searches the web and interprets the hand gestures

9. COLOR MARKERS
 It is at the tip of the user’s fingers
Marking the user’s fingers with
red,yellow,green and blue taps helps the
webcam recognize gestures
 The movements and arrangements of
these makers are interpreted into gestures
that acts a interaction instructions for the
projected application interface

HOW IT WORKS?

11. Applications:-
The Software recognises some kinds of gestures like:
 Freehand gestures
 Framing gestures
 Iconic gestures

15. Cost and Availability
oThe device can be made in current prototype system costs
approximately $350 to build.
oIn Indian currency 17000Rs
o Sixth sense hardware and software at present works with
semaphores
o The software’s source code will be available on an open source
model. AS THE STATEMENT OF ITS MAKER

16. Advantages:-
It is so light ,small and simple to use
 We can accesses our work from any place.
 We can take photos and organize them on any floor.
 Read books easily

17. Disadvantages:-
 The projector runs on batteries for power where regularly
have to replace.
 we have to give correct instructions .

18. Conclusion
 Sixth Sense is a wearable hi-tech device.
 The Sixth sense prototype implements several applications
that demonstrates the usefulness, valiability and flexibility of
the system
 This technology makes the world @ your fingertips. It is
your third eye, your digital eye, connecting you to the world of
digital information.
