  1. Sixthsense computing Kyle Rafferty Biomedical Engineering University of Rhode Island

  2. SixthSense Overview • Developed by Pranav Mistry • Research assistant/PhD candidate MIT • Portable device that is worn around neck • Consists of: • Camera • Colored Markers • Projector • *a smart phone

  3. Components • Camera: tracks the movement of the colored markers using movement algorithms. • Colored Markers: Red, blue, green, and yellow tape worn on the users fingertips for tracking purposes. • Projector: Projects stored data onto most any surface. • Smart phone: needed for internet connection and computing power

  4. Capabilities • Recognizes hand movements • Examples from online demonstrations: • Make frame with hands: camera takes picture • Google map onto wall • Draw circle on wrist: projects digital clock • Movement of text book/web info onto page • Airline ticket updates • Draw @ symbol: check email for you • Many more capabilities (it’s on youtube or TED website)

  5. Pictures

  6. Benefits • Cost: ~300$ • Software will be open source • Many possible medical applications using the technology • Surgical procedures (using tracking capabilities) • Rehabilitation techniques
