    Sixth Sense is a wearable device that allows users to access digital information about the physical world using hand gestures. By tracking hand movements, it lets users interact with maps, drawings, and other projected digital content without traditional interfaces like screens. The prototype demonstrates applications like navigating maps, drawing on surfaces, and enhancing physical objects with additional projected information. Sixth Sense bridges the gap between the digital and physical worlds by seamlessly integrating digital data into reality through natural gestural control, giving users access to online information about anything in the physical environment.

    ABSTRACT

    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.

    We've evolved over millions of years to sense the world around us. When we encounter
    something, someone or some place, we use our five natural senses to perceive information about
    it; that information helps us make decisions and chose the right actions to take. But arguably the
    most useful information that can help us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with
    our five senses, namely the data, information and knowledge that mankind has accumulated
    about everything and which is increasingly all available online. Although the miniaturization of
    computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually
    connected to the digital world, there is no link between our digital devices and our interactions
    with the physical world. Information is confined traditionally on paper or digitally on a screen.
    Sixth Sense bridges this gap, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world,
    and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures. ‘Sixth Sense’ frees
    information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire
    world your computer.

    The Sixth Sense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness,
    viability and flexibility of the system. The map application lets the user navigate a map displayed
    on a nearby surface using hand gestures, similar to gestures supported by Multi-Touch based
    systems, letting the user zoom in, zoom out or pan using intuitive hand movements. The drawing
    application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the user’s
    index finger. Sixth Sense also recognizes user’s freehand gestures (postures). The Sixth Sense
    system also augments physical objects the user is interacting with by projecting more
    information about these objects projected on them. For example, a newspaper can show live
    video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper. The gesture of
    drawing a circle on the user’s wrist projects an analog watch.
