4. The neck worn projector and camera combination was first
proposed by MIT student Steve Mann.
The concept was further developed by Pranav Mistry.
It integrates digital information into the physical world and
making the entire world your computer.

7. CAMERA
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 user to the world of digital
information. 7

8. SMART PHONE
The smartphone in user pockets transmit and receive
voice and data anywhere and to anyone via the mobile
internet. 8

9. PROJECTOR
The projector projects visual information enabling
surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces.
The project itself contains a battery inside, with 3 hours
of battery life. 9

13. The Sixth Sense to project a keypad onto user hand,
then use that virtual keypad to make a call.

Make a call

14. 14
Call up a map
With the map application user can call up the map.
Then use thumbs and index fingers to navigate the map.

15. Draw a circle on user wrist to get a virtual watch that
gives the correct time.

Check the time

16. If user index fingers and
thumbs into a square, the
system will snap a photo.
After taking the desired
number of photos, that can
project them onto a surface.

Take pictures

17. The user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip
movements of the user’s index finger.

Play games
Fig. 15: Playing car racing game
Play game in single paper, camera understood how the
user holds the paper.

Create multimedia reading experiences
User is interacting with by projecting more information
about these objects projected on them.

Get product information
Sixth sense uses image recognition to recognize
products user pick up, then feeds the information on those
products.

22. ADVANTAGES
It integrates digital information into the physical world and
making the entire world your computer.
Information and turns any surface into an interactive display.
It is portable and easy to carry as user can wear it in his neck.
It uses hand gestures to interact with digital information.
Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction.
Data access directly from machine in real time. 22

23. 23
DISADVANTAGES
Health Issues : Projection is not better in morning and bright
areas.
Security : As data projected on any surface anyone can see any
others data.
The projector working battery life is very less only 3hrs.
It can't use an android mobile as a computing device. It has to be
a windows running device.

24. CONCLUSION
The sixth sense technology will remove the difficult task of
carrying our laptops or any other devices which are very
heavy.
The device which is a pendant shaped, it’s light and easy to
carry and easy access to any information.
Now trying to make out a 3-D interface with the help of this
device. 24
