The document describes the sixth sense technology, which allows users to interact with digital information projected onto physical surfaces using natural hand gestures. It was pioneered by Steve Mann in the 1990s and later refined by Pranav Mistry at MIT. The system uses a camera to track colored markers on the user's fingers and a projector mounted on a neckpiece to display interfaces onto any surface. It has applications like making calls, using maps, taking photos, and obtaining information about objects.

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.
 Steve Mann is considered as the father of Sixth Sense
Technology who made wearable computer in 1990. He
implemented the Sixth Sense Technology as the neck worn
projector with a camera system (which Mann originally
referred to as “Synthetic Synesthesia of the Sixth Sense”.

4. Steve mann (born 1962) is a
researcher best known for his work on
wearable computing.
Mann holds a Phd in media arts from
MIT (Massachusetts institute of
technology) in 1972.
He invent many of the invention’s but
his main is “synthetic synesthesia
of the sixth sense” by this he create
a new world in which the technology is
simpler , easy and higher or we can say
that it is the starting of sixth sense
technology…
FATHER OF SIXTH SENSE

5. DEVICE DEVELOPED BY STEVE MAAN
The projector + camera combination
augments the physical world with
computer-generated/mediated content
and allows the wearer to interact using a
Natural User Interface. (e.g. hand
gestures or real physical objects) to
interact with that content.
It was invented by Steve Mann, and,
later, further refined (and popularized)
by Pranav Mistry, both Mann and Mistry
being PhD students in the MIT Media
Lab.

6. THEN HIS WORK WAS CARRIED FORWARD BY PRANAV
MISTRY (PH.D STUDENT IN THE FLUID INTERFACES
GROUP AT THE MIT MEDIA LAB).

7. THE DEVICE WHICH ARE USED IN SIX SENSE
TECHNNOLOGY ARE :
CAMERA
COLOURED MARKER
MOBILE COMPONENT
MIRROR
PROJECTOR

8. 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 you to the world
of digital information

9. COLOURED MARKERS
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.

10. MIRROR
The usage of the mirror is
significant as the projector
dangles pointing downwards
from the neck.

11. SMART PHONE
A Web-enabled smart phone in the user’s pocket processes the video
data
Other software searches the Web and interprets the hand gestures

12. 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.
A tiny LED projector displays data sent
from the smart phone on any surface in
view–object, wall, or person.

14. APPLICATION
VIEWING MAPPING TAKING PICTURES
DRAWING APPLICATION
MAKING CALLS
INTERACTING WITH
PHYSICAL OBJECT
GETTING INFORMATION

15. MAKE A CALL
You can use the Sixth Sense to
project a keypad onto your hand,
then use that virtual keypad to
make a call
CALL UP A MAP
With the map application we
can call up the map of our
choice and then use thumbs
and index fingers to
navigate the map

16. CHECK THE TIME
 Draw a circle on your
wrist to get a virtual
watch that gives you the
correct time
CREATE MULTI-MEDIA READING EXPERIENCE
Sixth Sense can be programmed
to project related videos onto
newspaper articles you are
reading

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.
FEED INFORMATION ON A PEOPLE
The system will project
relevant information
about a person such as
what they do, where
they work, and so on

18. TAKING PICTURES
 If you fashion your
index fingers and
thumbs into a square
("framing" gesture), the
system will snap a photo
After taking the desired
number of photos, we can
project them onto a surface,
and use gestures to sort
through the photos, and
organize and resize them

19. DRAWING FEATURES
The drawing application lets
the user draw on any surface
by tracking the fingertip
movements of the user’s index
finger.
ZOOMING FEATURES
The user can zoom in
or zoom out using
intuitive hand
movements

20. GET PRODUCT INFORMATION
 Sixth Sense uses image
recognition or marker
technology to recognize
products we pick up, then
feeds us information on those
products
GET THE BOOK INFORMATION
The system can project
Amazon ratings on that
book, as well as reviews
and other relevant
information

21. CONCLUSION
 Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around us, displaying
information automatically 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.
 The potential of becoming the ultimate "transparent" user
interface for accessing information about everything around
us.
 Allowing us to interact with this information via natural
hand gestures.
