This document summarizes a seminar presentation on the Sixth Sense technology. The Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural device that augments the physical world with digital information. It consists of a camera, projector, mirror, color markers, and a mobile device. The camera tracks hand gestures and sends the data to a mobile app. The projector then projects visual information onto surfaces, allowing them to function as interfaces. Applications demonstrated include taking photos, drawing, viewing a virtual watch, and zooming. The Sixth Sense provides a portable, cost-effective way to access digital information in real-time through natural hand gestures.

5. CAMERA
 The camera captures an object in view and tracks
the user’s hand gestures.
 It sends the data to smart phone which runs sixth
sense software.
Figure 3: Camera
 The projector is the key output device.
 The projector projects visual information enabling
surfaces and physical objects to be used as interface.

6. MIRROR
 Mirror reflects the projection coming out from projector
and thus helps in projecting out onto the desired location
on walls or surfaces.

COLOUR MARKERS
 The user has to wear marker caps (red, blue, green,
yellow) on the tip of his finger.
 It helps the camera to track the movements of the
users fingers.

7. MOBILE COMPONENT
 The smart phone runs the sixth sense software to
process the video stream data captured through
the camera.
 It is used for computation and communication
purpose.

9. APPLICATIONS
 Take pictures
 If you fashion your index fingers and thumbs into a
square ("framing" gesture), the system will snap a
photo.
 Drawing application
 The drawing application lets the user draw on any
surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the
user’s index finger.

10.  Clock
 Draw a circle on your wrist to get a virtual
watch that gives you the correct time.
 Zooming features
 The user can zoom in or zoom out using hand
movements.

11. ADVANTAGES
 Portable
 Connects the world and information.
 Multi-touch interactions.
 Data access directly from machine in real time.
 Cost effective

12. CONCLUSION
 Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around us, displaying information
automation and letting us to access it in any way 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 hand.
 The potential of becoming the ultimate “ transparent” user interface for
accessing information about everything around us.
