Sixth Sense Technology.
                     SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY
What is sixth sense?
• Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface that 
enhances the physical world around us with digital 
information and lets us use natural hand gestures to 
interact with that information. 
• It is based on the concepts of augmented reality and 
has well implemented the perceptions of it.

exquisite technologies. 
• It associates technologies like hand gesture 
recognition, image capturing, processing, and 
manipulation, etc. 
• It superimposes the digital world on the real world.

Why choose sixth sense technology?
• This sixth sense technology provides us with the 
freedom of interacting with the digital world with 
hand gestures. 
• This technology has a wide application in the field of 
artificial intelligence. 
• This methodology can aid in synthesis of bots that will 
be able to interact with humans.

Evolution of Sixth Sense Technology
• Steve Mann is considered as the father of Sixth Sense 
technology who made a wearable computer in 1990. 
• He implemented the Sixth Sense technology as the 
neck worn projector with a camera system.
• Then his work was carried forward by Pranav Mistry, 
an Indian research assistant in MIT Media Lab.

APPLICATIONS OF SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY 
Fingers as brush
• The user can draw anything on paint with the help of 
his fingers. 
• This drawing can be 3D also. Hence, no need to use 
mouse.

Capture photos with fingers
• Using the fingers, the user can capture photos hence, 
no need to carry an additional gizmo. 
• The box created by the fingers act as frame for 
capturing photo.

Palm is the new dialer
• This technology enables the user to call without using 
the dialer. 
• The dialer will be projected on palm and the user can 
dial the number using other hand.
