The document discusses Sixth Sense, a wearable gestural interface developed by Pranav Mistry. It consists of a camera, projector, and mirror coupled in a pendant-like device. The camera tracks hand gestures to access digital information, which is processed on a smartphone and projected back using the mirror. Some applications include making calls, taking pictures, checking the time, and accessing flight updates using natural hand gestures. In conclusion, Sixth Sense allows accessing digital information about the environment automatically and interacting with it using gestures in a transparent interface.
2. Gesture recognition is a topic in computer science
and languages technology with the goal of inter –
prating human gestures via mathematical
algorithms
4. Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the Physical World
Around us with digital information and let’s uses natural hand gestures to the internet
with that information.
It was developed by Pranav Mistry , A PHD student in the fluid interface media
group at the MIT media Lab.
Sixth Sense bridges the gap by bringing intangible, digital information out in to the
tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand.
Sixth sense comprises a pocket projector, a mirror and a camra.The hardware
components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device.

Captures an object in view and tracks the user’s hand gestures
It sends the data to smart phone .
It acts as a digital eye , connecting you to the world of digital
information.

A Web enabled smart phone in the user’s pocket process the
video data.
Other software searches the Web and interprets the hand
gestures .
SMART PHONE
10.
It is at the tip user’s fingers.
Marking the user’s fingers with red , yellow, green and blue tape
helps the webcams recognize gestures.
The movements and arrangements of these markers are interpreted
into gestures
COLOR MARKS
12. THE hardware that makes Sixth Sense work is a pendent like mobile wearable interface.
It has a camera , a mirror and a projector and is connected wirelessly to a Bluetooth
smart phone that can slip comfortably into one’s pocket.
The camera recognizes individuals , images ,picture gestures one makes with their
hands.
Information is sent to the Smartphone for processing.
The downward-facing projector the output image on the mirror.
Mirror reflects images on to the desired surface.
Thus ,digital information is freed its confines and placed in the physical world.

APPLICATION
MAKE A CALL
TAKE A PICTURE
ZOOMING
CHECK THE TIME
DRAWING APPLICATION
GET FLIGHT UPDATES
14.
MAKING A CALL
You can use the sixth sense to project a keyboard onto
your hand , then use that virtual keypad to make a call…
CHECK THE TIME
Draw a circle on your wrist to get a virtual
watch that gives you the correct time
15.
CREATE MULTIMEDIA READING
EXPERIENCE
Sixth sense can be programed to project related
videos onto newspaper articles you are reading.
TAKE PICTURES
If you fashion your index and thumbs into a
square (“framing “gesture) the system will snap
a photo.
17.
GET FLIGHT UPDATES
The system will recognize your
boarding pass and let you know
whether your flight is on time and if
the gate has changed
18. Portable
Support multi-touch and multi users interaction
Connectedness between world and information
Cost effective
Data access directly from machine in real time
Mind map the idea anywhere
It is an open source
ADVANTAGES
19. Sixth sense recognizes the objects around us , displaying information
automatically and letting any way we need.
Allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures.
The potential of becoming the ultimate “transparent” user interface for
accessing information about everything around us.
The sixth sense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate
the usefulness , viability and flexibility of the system.
