Conclusion

Sixth Sense in scientific (or non-scientific) terms is defined as Extra Sensory
Perception or in short ESP. It involves the reception of information not gained
through any of the five senses. Sixth sense device is basically a wearable gestural
interface that connects the physical world around us with digital information and
lets us use natural web 4.0 view of human and machine interactions. Sixth sense
integrates digital information into the physical world and its objects, making the
entire world your computer
Camera: A webcam captures and recognizes an object in view
and tracks the users hand gestures using computer-vision based
techniques. tracks the movement of the colored markers using
movement algorithms.

Colored Markers: It is at the tip of the users fingers. Marking
the users fingers with red, yellow, green, and blue tape helps the
webcam recognize gestures

Projector: Projects stored data onto most any surface. lso, a projector
opens up interaction and sharing. The project itself contains a battery
inside, with 3 hours of battery life. The projector projects visual
information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to
be used as interfaces.

Smart phone: The mobile devices like Smartphone in our pockets
transmit and receive voice and data anywhere and to anyone via the
mobile internet. An accompanying Smartphone runs the SixthSense
software, and handles the connection to the internet

Mirror: The usage of the mirror is significant as the projector dangles
pointing downwards from
the neck.
The camera is used to recognize and track users hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision
based techniques, while the projector is used to project visual information on walls or on any physical thing
around us. Other hardware includes mirror and color redcaps to be used for fingers.
The software of the technology uses the video stream, which is captured by the camera, and also tracks the
location of the tips of the fingers to recognize the gestures. This process is done using some techniques of
computer vision
Related technologies
Sixth Sense technology takes a different approach to computing and tries to make the
digital aspect of our lives more intuitive, interactive and, above all, more natural. We
shouldnt have to think about it separately.
Augmented reality
Gesture recognition
It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality in which a view of reality is
modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. Sixth sense
technology which uses Augmented Reality concept to super imposes digital information on
the physical world.
Gesture recognition is a topic in computer science and language technology with the goal of
interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. Gestures can originate from any
bodily motion or state but commonly originate from the face or hand.
Computer vision based algorithm
Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that see. As a scientific
discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that
extract information from images. Computer vision, on the other hand, studies and
describes the processes implemented insoftware and hardware behind artificial vision
systems

Technologies that uses Sixth Sense as Platform
Radio Frequency Identification
Sixth Sense is a platform for Radio Frequency Identification based enterprise intelligence
that combines Radio Frequency Identification events with information from other enterprise
systems and sensors to automatically make inferences about people, objects, workspaces, and
their interactions.
Sixth Sense Washing Machine
Ideal washing machine for thorough washing that requires sixth sense to detect stubborn
stains and adjust wash impact. Whirlpool AWOE 8758 White Washing Machine is a
remarkable front loader that incorporates the unparalleled Sixth Sense technology.
Applications
The Sixth Sense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the
usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system.

Call up a map
Check the time
Create multimedia reading experience
Drawing application
Zooming features
Get product information
The Sixth Sense device has a huge number of applications. The following are few
of the applications of Sixth Sense Technology.
Get book information
Get flight updates
Feed information on people
Take pictures
Check the email
Calling a number also will not be a great task with the introduction of
Sixth Sense Technology. No mobile device will be required, just type in the number with
your palm acting as the virtual keypad.
Make a call
Call a map
The sixth sense also implements map which lets the user display the map
on anyphysical surface and find his destination and he can use his
thumbs and index fingers to navigate the map,
If we fashion our index fingers and thumbs into a square (the typical "framing" gesture),
the system will snap a photo. After taking the desired number of photos, we can project
them onto a surface, and use gestures to sort through the photos, and organize and resize
them.
Take a picture
Feed information on people
Sixth Sense also is capable of "a more controversial use. When you go out and meet
someone, projecting relevant information such as what they do, where they work,
Cost~300$
Sixth Sense is an user friendly interface which integrates digital information
into
the physical world and its objects, making the entire world your computer.
Sixth Sense does not change human habits but causes computer and other
machines to adapt to human needs.
It uses hand gestures to interact with digital information.
Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction
Data access directly from machine in real time
It is an open source and cost effective and we can mind map the idea
anywhere
It is gesture-controlled wearable computing device that feeds our relevant
information and turns any surface into an interactive display.
Future enhancement
Conclusion
The key here is that Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around you, displaying
information automatically and letting you access it in any way you want, in the
simplest way possible.
To get rid of color markers
To incorporate camera and projector inside mobile computing device.
Whenever we place pendant- style wearable device on table, it should allow us to
use the table as multi touch user interface.
Applying this technology in various interest like gaming, education systems etc.
To have 3D gesture tracking.
To make sixth sense work as fifth sense for disabled person.
