1. Sixth Sense Technology

2. Already existing five senses Five basic senses – seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting and hearing.

3. Now the sixth sense has came into existance to revolutionalize this world

4. Abstract  SixthSense is a wearable gestural interface device that augments the physical world with digital information and lets people 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.  He won the ‘Invention of the Year 2009 ‘- by Popular Science.  The device sees what we see but it lets out information that we want to know while viewing the object.  It can project information on any surface, be it a wall, table or any other object and uses hand / arm movements to help us interact with the projected information.  The device brings us closer to reality and assists us in making right decisions by providing the relevant information, thereby, making the entire world a computer.

5. Description  All of us are aware of the five basic senses – seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting and hearing. But there is also another sense called the sixth sense.  It is basically a connection to something greater than what thei r physical senses are to perceive.  But the invention of sixth sense technology has completely shocked the world. Although it is not widely known as of now but the time is not far when this technology will change our perception of the world.  The device serves the purpose of a computer plus saves time spent on searching information. Currently the prototype of the device costs around $350 to build. Still more work is being done on the device and when fully developed, it will definitely revolutionize the world.

6. Components used in sixth sense technology  The Sixth Sense prototype is composed of the following things: 1.Pocket projector 2.Mirror & 3.Camera 4.Coloured caps

7. Working of Components The hardware components are coupled in a pendant-like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user’s pocket, working such as :  The projector: projects visual information, enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around the wearer to be used as interfaces.  The camera and hands: recognizes and tracks the user's hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques.

8. Software program used in this technology  The software of the technology uses the video stream, which is captured by the camera, and also tracks the location of the tips of the fingers to recognize the gestures. This process is done using some techniques of computer vision.  Basically, Sixth Sense is a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cellphone—which acts as the computer and your connection to the Cloud, all the information stored on the web.

9. Applications

10. This sixth sense technolgy has many applications in our daily life as follows: 1. Firstly, it is portable and easily to carry as you can wear it in your neck. 2. The drawing application lets user draw on any surface by observing the movement of index finger. 3.The camera also helps user to take pictures of the scene he is viewing and later he can arrange them on any surface. 4.While reading a newspaper and viewing videos instead of the photos in the paper. 5. The device can also tell you arrival, departure or delay time of your air plane on your tickets. 6.When we open any book and you will find the Amazon ratings of the book. 7. While picking up any good at the grocery store, the user can get to know whether the product is eco friendly or not. 8. To know the time, all one has to do is to just gesture drawing circle on the wrist and there appears a wrist watch. 9. To know the person’s details while talking to him.

11. Taking photos and viewing them whenever you want By using this technology the person can take photos where ever he goes just make a square with your fingers, highlighting what you want to frame as shown in above image, and the system will make the photo—which you can later organize with the others using your own hands over the air as shown in the below image....

12. To display a map on a physical surface and find destination.. The sixth sense also implements map which lets the user display the map on any physical surface and find his destination by just using his gestures.

13. To select the best and quality products when we go to shopping with out asking any one.. Whenever you want to buy best things when u go to a supermarket when we hold things then the product rating can be seen on that product as mini projector is coupled with cell phone which has net connection we can easily get the rating of that product on it..

14. To see the live video news while reading the news paper The SixthSense system also augments physical objects the user is interacting with by projecting more information about these objects projected on them. For example, a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper.

15. To know the rating of books while we are choosing a book to buy... For book lovers it is nothing less than a blessing. Open any book and you will find the Amazon ratings of the book.
