This document presents information on 6th sense technology, a gestural interface created by Pranav Mistry. It allows a user to interact with digital information projected onto physical surfaces using hand gestures tracked by a camera. Key aspects include a pocket projector that displays information, a camera that tracks colored markers on the user's fingers to interpret gestures, and a smartphone that processes input and searches the web. Examples of applications are presented, and advantages are discussed like portability, accessibility of data in real time, and acting as a "transparent" user interface. In conclusion, 6th sense technology has potential to revolutionize how people access information in the physical world through natural gestures.
3. Introduction
O Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural
interface that increases the physical world
around us with digital information.
O Technology that plays with Human
gestures to make the world more
interactive and workflow much easier.
O 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.
4. What is 6th sense
technology???
O 'Sixth Sense' augments the physical world
around us with digital information and lets
us use natural hand gestures to interact
with that information.
5. What is 6th sense
technology???
O Hereby Physical world is painted with
the digital information.
O You can carry your digital world with
you wherever you go.
O You can start with any wall or any
surface as an interface even your palm.

Sense prototype
O A Pocket Projector
O Projects visual information to interfaces like
wall, physical objects.
O A Camera
O Tracks user hand gestures.
O Colored Markers
O Movements of fiducials are interpreted into gestures.

10. Camera
O Captures an object in
view and tracks the
user’s hand gestures
O It sends the data to
smart phone
O It acts as a digital eye,
connecting you to the
world of digital
information
11. Projector
O The projector projects visual information enabling
surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces
O The projector itself contains a battery inside, with 3
hours of battery life.
O A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the smart
phone on any surface in view–object, wall, or person.

13. Smart Phone
O A Web-enabled smart phone in the user’s pocket
processes the video data.
O Other software searches the Web and interprets
the hand gestures
14. Colour Markers
O It is at the tip of the user’s fingers .
O Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green, and
blue tape helps the webcam recognize gestures
O The movements and arrangements of these makers are
interpreted into gestures that act as interaction
instructions for the projected application interfaces.
24. Advantages
O Connectedness between world and information.
O Data access directly from machine in real time.
O Mind map the data anywhere.
O Portable.
O Inexpensive.
O Cool
25. Conclusion
O Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around
us, displaying information automatically and letting
us to access it in any way we need
O The Sixth Sense prototype implements several
applications that demonstrate the
usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system
O Allowing us to interact with this information via
natural hand gestures
O The potential of becoming the ultimate
"transparent" user interface for accessing
information about everything around us.

“Personality is an unbroken
series of successful gesture.
