Nah..Nothing to do with such paranormal
psychic phenomena……
Instead it is a wearable device that
augments the physical world around us
with digital information

Presently there is no link between our
digital devices and our interactions with
the physical world.

 Information is confined traditionally on
paper or digitally on a screen

SixthSense bridges this gap, bringing
intangible, digital information out into the
tangible world….

 ‘SixthSense’ frees information from its
confines by seamlessly integrating it with
reality, and thus making the entire world
your computer.

The device created
by Massachusetts
Institute of
Technology (MIT)
scientists can turn
any surface into a
touch-screen for
computing,
controlled by
simple hand
gestures.

 The gizmo can recognize articles in
newspapers, retrieve the latest related
stories or video from the Internet and
play them on pages.

 A framing gesture will enable the user to
shoot pictures, and it can be reviewed on
any surface immediately…

The gesture of drawing
a circle on the user’s
wrist projects an analog
watch.
And drawing an @
symbol will project
the mail….

A symbol of magnifying
glass will show you
a map application……
You can know about the
flight schedule by just
looking at the flight
ticket..

The SixthSense prototype
implements such several
applications that demonstrate
the usefulness, viability and
flexibility of the system.
All for an amount of just $300….

While the gadget is not being primed for
mass release it represents a forward-
thinking way of blending technology with
our environment.
