The Sixth Sense Technology

Sixth sense will revolutionize the world by empowering every individual with the  ultimate source of information through seamless connectivity to the web. It will change the way we see the world and connect to things. 

Imagine we can make a call just by extending our hand in front of the projector and the numbers will appear to click. Want to know the time? Just draw a circle on the wrist and the watch will appear. Take a photo by just make a square with fingers, highlighting what want to frame, and the system will make the photo which can later organize the others using own hands in the air. 

Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the fluid interfaces creation of Sixth Sense. He also released this technology as open source. The Sixth Sense prototype is composed of a  pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. the hardware components are coupled in a pendant-like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device. We can consider it as a blend of the computer and the cellphone. It works as a web cam captures and recognizes an object in view and tracks the user's hand gestures and sends the data to the smartphones. Color makers at the tip of user's fingers helps the web cam recognizes gestures. Than the smart phone handles the connection to the internet. The smartphone acts as a processor here. A tiny LED projector displays data sent by the smartphone on any surface in view object, wall, or person.

It is a portable device as it can hang around a person's neck very easily thereby turning the person into a moving computer. The current prototype system costs approximate $350 to build. The true power of Sixth Sense lies on its potential in connecting the real life circumstances almost immediately to the internet which gives all the relevant information to the user and allows us to make smarter choices. the idea is that Sixth Sense tries to determine not only what someone is interacting with, but also how he or she is interacting with it.

 Sixth Sense will grab real time information about your flight and display it over the ticket. For  book lovers it is a blessing. Open any book and you will find the Amazon ratings of the book. To add to it, pick any page and the device gives additional information o the text, comments and lot more add on features.
