Sixth sense technology allows users to interact with digital information in the physical world using natural hand gestures. It works by projecting interfaces onto surfaces using a pendant-like device with a camera, projector, and mirror. The camera tracks hand gestures which are interpreted by a smartphone to control the projected application. It aims to make computing adapt to human needs rather than forcing changes in human behavior.

3. Sixth sense technology integrates digital information into the
physical world and its objects,making the entire world,your
computer.
It can turn any surface into a touch-screen for computing
controlled by simple hand gestures.
It is not a technology which is aimed at changing human
habits but causing computers and other machines to adapt to
human needs.
It also supports multi user and multi touch provisions.

4. Steve mann is the father of
sixth sense
technology who made a
wearable computer in 1970
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”)

5. 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.
Sixth sense’s bridges the gap by bringing intangible,digital
information out into the tangible world and allowing us to interact
with this information via natural hand.
Sixth sense’s comprises a packet projector ,a mirror and a camera.
The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile
wearable device.
ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

Colored Markers

9.  Captures an object in view and tracks the
user’shand gestures
 It sends the data to smart phone
 Itn acts as a digital eye,connecting you to
the world of digital information
 The projector projects visual information
enabling surfaces and physical objects to be
used as interfaces.
 The projects 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

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

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

13.  Portable.
 Support multi-touch and multi-use
interaction
 Connectedness between world and
information
 Cost effective.(around $350)
 Data access directly from machine
in real time
 Mind map the idea anywhere.

14. • The product is not yet released into the market.
• Privacy concerns.
• Health issues regarding sixth sense’s projection.
• It is still modified and tested.
• Concerns about the pricing

15. Sixth Sense recognizes the
objects around us,
Displaying information
automatically and letting us to
access it in any way we need
allowing us to interact with
this information via natural
hand gestures.
