INTRODUCTION
Sixth Sense Technology integrates digital information into the
physical world and its objects, making the entire world, your
computer.
It can turn any surface into a touch-screen for computing,
controlled by simple hand gestures.
It is not a technology which is aimed at changing human
habits but causing computers and other machines to adapt to
human needs.
It also supports multi user and multi touch provisions.

WHY SIXTH SENSE?

Sixth Sense technology is the science of tomorrow with the aim
of connecting the digital world with the physical world seamlessly,
eliminating hardware devices.

CAMERA

Captures An Object In View And

Tracks The Users Hand Gestures.
It Acts As A Digital Eye.

PROJECTOR
The projector projects the visual
information enabling surfaces and
physical objects to be used as
interfaces.

MIRROR
The usage of mirror is significant as
the projector dangles pointing
downwards from the neck.

SMART PHONE
A web enabled smart phone in the
users pocket processes the video data.

COLORED MARKERS

It is at the tip of users fingers.

Marking the users fingers with
red, yellow, green and blue tapes
helps the web cam recognizes the
gestures.

SOFTWARE

The prototype system runs on windows platform

and majority of the code is written in C++ and C#.

WUW v0.1 beta

WUW_v0.1 is the beta version of Sixth

Sense code (WUW stands for Wear Ur
World, a former name of the project).
This version runs on Windows.

Microsoft DirectX
Microsoft Visual Studio
Adobe Flash Player
Microsoft Outlook

WASHING MACHINES WITH 6TH

SENSE TECHNOLOGY
Whirlpool's 6th Sense technology uses
sensors built in to the washing machine to
continually monitor and control your washing
cycle to give you perfect results in the most
efficient way possible.
6th Sense adjusts water, temperature and
time levels to save energy and natural
resources.

Preventing accidents by warning drivers about potential danger

from other vehicles was a major goal during the development of
the new General Motors V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) communication
systems.

FUTURE APPLICATIONS
In educational field, the number of hardware
components could be reduced.
Usage of papers and electricity could be reduced.
It can be used to check the genuinity of drugs.
It could be used to monitor the agricultural lands.
It could be a fifth sense for blind people.

CONCLUSION

20

Sixth sense recognizes the objects around us, displaying

information automatically and letting us to access it in any way
we need.
In simple, it is almost like installing a digital system (computer)
into our body and further making it as sixth sense of our body
The sixth sense prototype implements several applications that
demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the
system.
Allowing us to interact with the information via natural hand
gestures.
