2. CONTENTS

3. INTRODUCTION • Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information. • Technology that plays with Human gestures to make the world more interactive and workflow much easier. • Pranav Mistry , of Indian origin, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab is the mastermind behind the sixth sense technology Pranav Mistry

4. WHAT IS SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY • '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. • It augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with thatinformation.

5. PHYSICAL WORLD • Objects ~ Gestures Gestures ~ Interaction

6. WHAT DOES IT DO? • “Sixth Sense brings intangible, digital information into the tangible world, and allows us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures. • 6thfrees information from its confines, seamlessly integrating it with reality, thus making the entire world your computer.”

7. SIXTH SENSE 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

8. SIXTH SENSE PROTOTYPE • A Pocket Projector Projects visual information to interfaces like wall, physical objects. • A Camera Tracks user hand gestures. • Colored Markers Movements of fiducials are interpreted into gestures. • Mirror • Mobile phone

9. 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 the webcam recognize gestures • The movements and arrangements of these makers are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces

10. 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

11. MIRROR • The usage of the mirror is significant as the projector dangles pointing downwards from the neck. MIRROR

12. PROJECTOR • The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces • The projector 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.

13. HOW IT WORKS ? • Images • Pictures • Gesture BLOCK DIAGRAM capture Send for processing Send Info Reflect on desired surface Info on surface Project image

14. DESCRIPTION • 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’s pocket • The camera recognizes individuals, images, pictures, gestures one makes with their hands • Information is sent to the 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.

17. REFRIGERATORS

18. WORKING • Once set, the unique Sixth Sense system memorises, monitors and maintains your cooling levels automatically. • When you open the door, Sixth Sense detects a rise in temperature and the sensitive system automatically boosts cooling to recover the optimum storage conditions fast. • Humidity settings lets you control the whole climate at the touch of a button. • On holiday’ mode: The Whirlpool holiday or vacation mode controls your fridge freezer while you’re away. Controlled from the digital panel it ensures that the freezer temperature is maintained while the fridge operates at a minimal energy setting. Saving you money when you’re not at home • Also in the sixth sense cooling products you have the benefit of the multi flow ventilation system. This is a "total no frost" system which circulates chilled air around the freezer's storage areas, reducing humidity and preventing the formation of ice. This system blows chilled air around the interior of the fridge to ensure perfect conditions throughout.

19. AUTOMOBILES APPLICATION • Preventing accidents by warning drivers about potential danger from other vehicles was a major goal during the development of the new General Motors V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) communication systems. Vehicles equipped with this technology can communicate with each other and exchange information such as location and speed. Drivers can then be warned in advance if another car is travelling in their blind spot, stopped in an area that is difficult or impossible to see, or about to enter the same intersection as they are.

20. ADVANCEMENTS • MAKE A Call-You can use the Sixth Sense to project a keypad onto your hand, then use that virtual keypad to make a all • CALL UP A 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

21. WATCH Videos : Sixth Sense can be programmed to project related videos onto newspaper articles you are reading

22. ADVANTAGES • Connectedness between world and information. • Data access directly from machine in real time. • Mind map the data anywhere. • Portable. • Inexpensive • Microsoft Surface does currently exist (which is similar in theory). But Microsoft’s product is not portable like Sixth SenseIn addition to that Microsoft is developing a controlling environment whore the user doesn’t even have to touch the controller device named ‘Project Natal’. This will be a significant market competitor to the SixthSense technology since it still required some hardware involvement with the user. • OPEN SOURCE

23. CONCLUSION • Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around us, displaying information automatically and letting us to access it in any way we need • The Sixth Sense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system • Allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures • The potential of becoming the ultimate "transparent" user interface for accessing information about everything around us

24. PROJECT NATAL • Recent introduction of the natal in gaming world has changed the whole dimension of the gaming world
