3. INTRODUCTION
 Sixth Sense 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 Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in
the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab.
 SixthSense bridges the gap by bringing intangible,
digital information out into the tangible world, and
allowing us to interact with this information via
natural hand.
 SixthSense comprises a pocket projector, a mirror, a
camera and a smartphone. The hardware components
are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable
device.

digital world

6. THE BASICS…
 Sixth Sense allows people to use the internet without a
screen or a
keyboard
 It can turn any surface into a touch screen
 It is made with store-bought components
 “The software program processes the video stream data
captured by the
camera and tracks the locations of the
colored markers [that you wear on
your fingers] using
simple computer-vision techniques”
 According to a number of sources, graduate students at MIT
have been
working on this for the past four months “day
and night”

7. REDUCES OUR WORK LOAD

8.  Hereby Physical world is painted with the digital information.
 You can carry your digital world with you wherever you go.
 You can start with any wall or any surface as an interface even
your palm.
 This would make our quality of living much better because
it would cut down on the cost of basic necessities such
as cameras, laptops etc.
 Everything would be at the tip of your fingers.

9. HISTORY

10. COMPONENTS
 Camera
 Smart phone
 Projector
 Mirror
 Colored marker

11. 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

12. 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

13. PROJECTOR
 The projector projects visual information enabling
surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces
 The projector 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

14. MIRROR
Mirror
 The usage of the mirror is significant as the projector
dangles pointing downwards from the neck.

15. COLOR MARKERS
 It is at the tip of the user’s fingers .
 Marking the user’s 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.

18.  The hardware that makes Sixth Sense work is a pendant like
mobile wearable interface
 It has a camera, a mirror and a projector and is connected
wirelessly to a Bluetooth smart phone that can slip comfortably
into one’s pocket
 The camera recognizes individuals, images, pictures, gestures
one makes with their hands
 Information is sent to the Smartphone for processing
 The downward-facing projector projects the output image on to
the mirror
 Mirror reflects image on to the desired surface
 Thus, digital information is freed from its confines and placed in
the physical world.

27. ADVANTAGES
 Connectedness between world and information.
 Data access directly from machine in real time.
 Mind map the data anywhere.
 Portable.
 Inexpensive.
 Cool.
 OPEN SOURCE.

28. DISADVANTAGES

The product is still showing in the market. Now have a
legal obligation, because the product itself changes.
 However, the product is some security issues. Find
some new IT security issues.
 For example, when a person needs to use SixthSense
picture is only a little sign of cap on the snap of his
fingers.

29. CONCLUSION
Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around us, displaying
information automatically and letting us to access it in any way we
need
The Sixth Sense prototype implements several applications that
demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system
Allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand
gestures
The potential of becoming the ultimate "transparent" user interface
for accessing information about everything around us
