SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY

ABSTRACT:
Basically, Sixth Sense is a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cell phone which
acts as the computer and your connection to the Cloud, all the information stored on the web.
Sixth Sense can also obey hand gestures, like in the infamous Minority Report. However, instead
of requiring you to be in front of a big screen like Tom Cruise, Sixth Sense can do its magic—
and a lot more everywhere, even while you are jumping hysteric over Oprah's sofa. The camera
recognizes objects around you instantly, with the micro-projector overlaying the information on
any surface, including the object itself or your hand. Then, you can access or manipulate the
information using your fingers. Need to make a call? Extend your hand on front of the projector
and numbers will appear for you to click. Need to know the time? Draw a circle on your wrist
and a watch will appear. Want to take a photo? Just make a square with your fingers,
highlighting what you want to frame, and the system will make the photo—which you can later
organize with the others using your own hands over the air. But those are just novelty
applications. The true power of Sixth Sense lies on its potential to connect the real world with the
Internet, and overlaying the information on the world itself. Imagine you are at the supermarket,
thinking about what brand of soap is better. Just look at objects, hold them on your hands, and
Sixth Sense will show you if it's good or bad, or if it fits your preferences or not. Now take this
to every aspect of your everyday life. You can be in a taxi going to the airport, and just by taking
out your boarding pass, Sixth Sense will grab real time information about your flight and display
it over the ticket. You won't need to do any action. Just hold it in front of your and it will work.
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.
Clearly, this has the potential of becoming the ultimate "transparent" user interface for accessing
information about everything around us.  But as it is now, it may change the way we interact
with the real world and truly give everyone complete awareness of the environment around us.
