The document discusses the Sixth Sense technology, a wearable gestural interface developed by Pranav Mistry that allows users to interact with digital information projected onto physical surfaces using hand gestures. The Sixth Sense consists of a camera, mobile computing device, projector, and colored markers worn around the neck. It works by using the camera to capture gestures and the physical environment, the computing device to process this information and search the internet, and the projector to display the results onto surfaces. Some applications include making calls, accessing the internet, taking photos, and playing motion-sensing games without using traditional devices.

3. WHAT IS SIXTH SENSE ?
 “Sixth Sense” is a wearable gestural interface that
augments the physical world around us with digital
information and lets us use our hand gestures to
interact with that information.
This technology was proposed by STEVE MANN and
the concept was further developed by PRANAV MISTRY,
a Indian student at MIT Media Lab.

6. BASIC WORKING
1. CAMERA/WEBCAM
• Captures the object in front of you
& tracks users hand gestures.
• It also sends this information to the
computing device.
2. COMPUTING DEVICE
• A web enabled computing device or
a Smartphone collects information
captured by camera and searches
relevant details on web.
• It also interprets the hand gestures.

7. 3. PROJECTOR
• Projector projects the information
collected by smartphone or the
computing device on surface in
front of user
4. COLOURED MARKERS
• Captures the object in front of you
& tracks users hand gestures.
• It also sends this information to the
computing device.

9. APPLICATIONS
1. MAKE A CALL
• Sixth sense can be used to
display a virtual keypad and use
the same to make a call
2. ACCESS INTERNET
• Use Google map and Access
internet anywhere at any surface
without using any device such as
PC, Laptop etc.

10. 3. VIRTUAL CAMERA
• Sixth sense can be used to
capture photo without taking
out your camera just by your
gesture.
4. PLAY GAMES
• Using sixth sense you can
turn any normal paper to
a game display and hence
can play motion sensing
games
