4. INTRODUCTION
 Sixth sense is a wearable gesture interface that augments the physical
world around us with the digital world.
 This technology is developed by Pranav Mistry ,a PhD student of MIT
Media Lab.
 It lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with the digital world.

5. EVOLUTION OF THE TECHNOLOGY

6. Components
 CAMERA
 PROJECTOR
 MIRROR
 MOBILE COMPONENT
 COLOUR MARKERS

7. CAMERA
 Captures an object in view and tracks the users hand gestures.
 Can recognize individuals, pictures, books etc.
 Acts as an digital eye, connecting you to the world of digital information.
 Sends data to the mobile device for processing.

8. PROJECTOR
 The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects used as interfaces.
 A tiny LED projector displays data sent from smart phone on any surface.
 The projector itself contains a battery inside, with 3 hours of battery life.

9. MIRROR
MOBILE
 The downward facing projector projects the output  The web enabled smart phone in the
image on the mirror.
 The mirror reflects image on the desired surface.
user’s pocket is used to process data.

10. COLOUR MARKERS
 It is at the tip of the user’s fingers.
 Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green, blue tape help the web
cam recognize the gestures.
 The movement and arrangement of these makers are interpreted into gestures
that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces

12. APPLICATIONS
TAKE PICTURES
 If you fashion your index fingers and thumbs into a
square ( “framing” gesture) we can take a snap.
ORGANIZE PICTURES
 After taking the photos, we can project them onto a
surface, and use gestures to sort through the photos,
and organize and resize them.

13. ZOOMING FEATURES
 We can arrange those pictures. The user can zoom in
or zoom out by just using hand movements
GETS BOOK INFORMATION
 The system can project Amazon ratings on that book, as
well as reviews and all other relevant information.

14. FEED INFORMATION ON PEOPLE
 The system will project some relevant information about a person
such what he/she does, where they work, and so on.
GET FLIGHT UPDATES
 The system will recognize your boarding pass and you know
whether your flight is on time and if the gate has changed.

15. MAKE A CALL
 You can use sixth sense to project a keypad onto your hand, then
use the that key pad to make a call.
CREATES MULTIMEDIA READING
EXPERIENCES
 Sixth sense can be programmed to project related videos onto
news paper articles you are reading.

16. DRAWING APPLICATION
 The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by
tracking the fingertip movements of the user’s index finger
CHECK THE TIME
 Draw a circle on your wrist to get virtual watch that gives
you the correct time

17. GETS PRODUCT INFORMATION
 Sixth sense uses image recognition or marker technology to recognize products we pick up and feed
us information on those products

18. ADVANTAGES
Portable
Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction
Connectedness between world and information
Cost effective
Data access directly from machine in real time
Mind map the idea anywhere

19. 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.
