•Microsoft Surface

•SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

•SixthSense is a wearable gestural interface that

augments the physical world around us with digital

information.

•Technology that plays with Human gestures to make

the world more interactive and workflow much

easier.

•Pranav Mistry, of Indian origin, a PhD student in the

Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab is the

mastermind behind the sixth sense technology.

EARLIER EXPLORATIONS

•Gesture interface device

•Sticky notes

•Pen that can draw in 3-D

•Google Maps in a physical world

SO WHY SIXTH SENSE??

•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.

CONSTRUCTION

•Camera

•Projector

•Mirror

•Mobile component

•Colored markers

COLOR MARKERS

•At the tip of the user’s

fingers.

•Helps the webcam to

recognize the gestures.

•The movements and

arrangements of these

makers are interpreted into

gestures.

CAMERA

•Also called as digital

eye as it analyses the

digital pixels.

• It captures the object in

view and tracks the

gestures.

SMART PHONE

•Other software searches

the web and interprets the

hand gestures.

•A web enabled smart

phone in the user’s pocket

processes the video data.

PROJECTOR

•The projector projects visual

information enabling

surfaces and physical

objects to be used as

interfaces.

• It displays data sent from

the smart phone on any

surface in view–object, wall,

or person.

intuitive hand movements

ADVANTAGES

•Portability

•Support multitouch and multi user interactions

•Connectedness between world and information

•Data access directly from machine in real time

•Mind map the idea anywhere

•It is a open source

•Cost effective

ConclusionSixth sense technology recognizes the objects around us displaying

information automatically and letting us to access it anyway 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

handgestures

The potential of becoming the ultimate transparent user interface

for accessing formation about everything around us
