The thrilling potential of
SixthSense technology
Pranav Minstry
A Research Assistant and PhD
candidate at the MIT Media Lab
SixthSense:
•  Is a real life guided
   user interface.

•  That merges both
   the digital world,
   and the real world.

•  Uses a single optical
   camera, projector
   and simple colored
   markers worn on the
   index and thumb
   fingers.

•  The controls
   are based on
   gestures used
   in real life.

  such as writing a sticky

Concept
      Summary
Pranav believes that modern
technology has been pulling
us away from the real world
and keeping us in a digital
environment. Pranav thinks
that the digital world should
complement the real world,
by providing real time based
information and in-depth
interaction with objects in our
world.
Speech
o  Pravnav’s doesn’t exude
  charisma during his
  introduction, but rather pulls
  his audience in through visual
  “wow factor.”

o  Pravnav maintains the
  engagement of the audience
  by continually revealing new
  uses for the features of his
  concept, and how they
  themselves would use the
  SixthSense.

Garr Reynolds & Nancy
      Duarte Comparison
—  Pravnav’s slides and movies were a very clear,
  image-driven, based presentation where the dialogs
  complement the visual tour. Pravnav, however, did
  not use Garr Reynolds’ humorous style of speech to
  liven up the presentation, but remained
  homogenous.

—  Pravnav did make use of some hand gestures and
  interpersonal earlier development stories, and he
  maintains a structure close to Nancy Duarte’s ideal
  presentation structure.
What I learned
—  Enthusiasm and humor can really complement a
  great presentation structure. The key to that
  presentation structure is in showing current world
  application followed by the contrast of your new
  idea at use. Maintaining this with, of course, an
  introduction and a conclusion with visual guides is
  the path to a greater presentation.
Pravnav Minstry & Sir Ken Robinson
Both are driven to revolutionize their respective industries: one in
education the other in technology. And both make use of classic
skills, such as hand gestures, moving, etc. But Pravnav lacks Sir
         Robinson’s humorous and charismatic approach.

—  Show enthusiastic
Advice:     passion about the
            subject you are
            discussing.

          —  If possible, use hand
            gestures, move around,
            try to feel less robotic.
          —  Most importantly, make
            reference to subject
            matters you want to
            address first, then
            followed by the idea you
            feel is better. Try not to
            address it
            simultaneously, or the
            other way around.
