3. INTRODUCTION
•Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the
physical world around us with digital information and lets us use
natural hand gestures to interact with that information.
• It was developed by ”Pranav Mistry”, a PhD student in the Fluid
Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab.
• Technology that plays with Human gestures to make the world
more interactive and workflow much easier.
• SixthSense comprises a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera.
The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile
wearable device.

• The cost of Sixth Sense Technology is estimated $350.

• 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.
• A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the smart
phone on any surface in view-object, wall, or person

• The usage of the mirror is significant as the
projector dangles pointing downwards from the
neck.
• A Web –enabled smart phone in the user’s
pocket processes the video data.
• Other software searches the Web and
interprets the hand gestures.

• It is at the tip of the user’s fingers.
• Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green, and
blue tape helps the webcam recognize gestures.
• The movements and arrangements of these makers are
interpreted into gestures that act as interaction
instructions for the projected application interfaces.

•The hardware that makes Sixth Sense work is a pendant 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, pictures, gestures
one makes with their hands.
•Information is sent to the Smartphone for processing.
•The downward-facing projector projects the output image on to
the mirror.
•Mirror reflects image on to the desired surface.
•Thus, digital information is freed from its confines and placed in
the physical world.

• TAKE PICTURES
If you fashion your index
fingers and thumbs into
framing gesture, the
system will snap a photo.
• ORGANIZE PHOTOS
After taking the photos,
we can project them onto
a surface, and use
gestures to sort through
the photos, & organize
and resize them.

CONCLUSION
The key here is that Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around
you, displaying information automatically and letting you access
it in any way you want, in the simplest way possible.
Clearly, this has the potential of becoming the ultimate
"transparent" user interface for accessing information about
everything around us.
It may change the way we interact with the real world and truly
give everyone complete awareness of the environment around
us.
