2. INTRODUCTION
• Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface
• which is referred to as Synthetic Synesthesia
of the Sixth Sense
• Steve Mann is a the father of Sixth Sense
Technology

3. THE DEVICES USED IN SIXTH
SENSE TECHNOLOGY
• Camera
• Colored Marker.
• Mobile Component
• Mirror
• Projector

4. CAMERA AND COLOR MARKERS
• Captures an object in view and tracks the user’s hand gestures
• It sends the data to smart phone
• Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green, and blue
tape helps the webcam recognize gestures

5. SMART PHONE AND PROJECTOR
• A Web-enabled smart phone in the user’s pocket
processes the video data
• The project itself contains a battery inside, with 3
hours of battery life.

6. APPLICATIONS
Viewing Map Taking Pictures Drawing Application
Making Calls Interacting with physical
objects
Getting Information
• Product information
• Book Information
• Flight Updates

7. ADVANTAGES
• Portable
• Support Multi touch and Multi user interaction
• Cost Effective
• Mind map the idea anywhere
• Open Source Software

8. DISADVANTAGES
• Hardware limitations of the devices
• For example many phones will not allow the
external camera
• Post processing can occur however.

9. CONCLUSION
• Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around us
displaying information automatically
• The Sixth Sense prototype implements several
applications
• The potential of becoming the ultimate
"transparent" user interface for accessing
information about everything around us
