6th sense technology
Introduction
• SixthSense 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.
• Device developed by Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab
• Sixth Sense comprises a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device.
• Sixth Sense bridges allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand.
SIXTH SENSE MEAN’S ?
HARDWARE
• The hardware components are couple in pendant like mobile wearable device.
• Camera
• Projector
• Mirror
• Mobile Component
• Colored Markers
CAMERA
• Captures an object in view and tracks the user’s hand gestures.
• It sends the data to smart phone.(carry in pocket)
• It acts as a digital eye, connecting you to the world of digital informaton.
PROJECTOR
• The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces.
• The project itself contains a battery inside.
• A tiny LED projector display data sent from the smart phone on any surface in view object,wall,or person,etc.
MIRROR
• The usage of the mirror is significant as the projector dangles pointing downward from the neck.
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.
COLOR MARKERS
• It is at the tip of the user’s fingers.
• Marking the user’s fingers with red, yellow, green, and blue tape helps webcam recognize gestures.
• The movements and arrangements of these makers are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instruction for the projected application interfaces.
WORKING !
• 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 pocket.
• The camera recognize individuals, image, pictures, gestures one makes with their hands.
• Information is sent to 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.
APPLICATIONS
• 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.
• Surfing up at 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.
• Check the time :-
Draw a circle on your wrist to get a virtual watch that gives you the correct time.
• Create multimedia reding exp. :-
Sixth sense can be programmed to project related video onto newspaper articles you are reading.
• Drawing application :-
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.
• Get product information :-
Sixth Sense uses image recognize products we pick up, then feed us information on those products.
• Get book information :-
The system can project amazon ratings on that book, as well as reviews and other relevant information.
• Get flight updates :-
The system will recognize your boarding pass and let you know whether your flight is on time and gate has changed.
• Feed information on people :-
The system will project relevant information about a person such as what they do, where they work, and so on.
• Take a pictures :-
If you fashion your index and tumbs into a square(gesture like framing), the system will snap a photo.
ADVANTAGES
• Portable
• Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction
• Connectedness b/w world and information
• Cost effective
• Data access directly from machine in real time
• Mind map the idea anywhere
• It is an open source
