what is six sense technology

Company TED (Technology,Entertainment, Design) or of Pranav Mistry
and his ‘SixthSense Technology’ but it is thought by many that this technology will
“change the whole dynamic of how the digital world and the real world operates”. Pranav Mistry, currently a research assistant and PhDcandidate at the MIT media lab, is the creator of the SixthSense technology which is

agestural interface design that augments the physical
world with digital information.

The SixthSense is a portable device that the
user his or her neck and is comprised of a camera, a mini projector, colored
markers [also smart phone]. The camera is set to the movements of the
colored markers that the user has on their fingers motion sign and sends the information to the
mobile to be process. it can also take
pictures and record videos. The colored
markers that the user wears on their finger motion
are comprised of red, yellow, green, and blue
cello tapes which are tracked using algorithms.
Finally, the projector displays the data onto any surface.

The Sixth Sense Technology devices :

1. Camera, Colour Marker.
2. Mobile Component.
3. Projector.
4. Mirror.

1.Camera.

The camera recognizes individuals, images, pictures, gestures that user makes with his hand.
The camera then sends this data to a smart phone for processing.

2. Colour marker.

Marking the person fingers with red, yellow, green and blue coloured tape helps the webcam to recognize the hand gestures.
The movements and arrangement of these markers are interpreted into gestures that act as an interaction instruction
for the projected application interfaces.

3.Mobile parts & component.

The smartphone searches the web and interprets the hand gestures with the help of the coloured markers placed at
the finger tips. the work throught the c++ algoritham.

4.mini projector.

The projector projects the visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces.
The projector itself consists of batteries which have 3 hours of battery life. A Tiny LED projector displays
the data sent from the smartphone on any surface in view-object, wall or person.The downward facing projector
projects the image on to a mirror.
IN the projector 50,000 something line code c/c++ lenguages.

5.Mirror.

The usage of a mirror is important as the mini projector dangles pointing downward from the neck.
The mirror reflects the photo on to a desire wall or any surface. Thus finally the digital photo/image is freed from
its confines and placed in the wall or any surface.

WORKING OF SIXTH SENSE :

VARIOUS APPLICATION:

Make a Calling: This technology enables the user to call without using the dealer.
The dealer will be projected as soon as user brings the any surface in front of the device.
The user does not need a mobile phone to make the call rather the virtual keypad it projected on the surface.
Get Flight Updates: The device can also tell the user whether the flight is delayed
or is on time by looking at the ticket.
Book Details: for the book lovers it had proved to be a blessing as you just open
any book and find the ratings of the book, also move to any page and get additional information.
this functionalities of sixth sense technology ever details of book there show. like -- book price,book author,etc..
