technology



Idea behind this technology was started late in 1990’s by

Steve Mann at MIT who actually proposed first

wearable computer.



First proposed head worn projector and camera in 1994,

then he developed it and proposed neck worn projector

and camera during 1998.



It was further developed in the future by Pranav Mistry

who is a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at

MIT Media Lab.

Captures an object’s view and tracks the hand gestures

It sends data to smart phone

It acts as Digital eye connecting to the world of digital

information.

The Projector projects visual information on any

enabling surface or on object itself.

Marking the User’s fingers with different colours helps camera

to identify gestures

The movements and arrangements of these markers are

interpreted as gestures that acts as interaction instructions for

the projected application interface.

How it works?

Applications

The drawing application let the user draw on any

surface by tracking the fingertip movements of

the user’s index finger

You can use sixth sense technology to project keypad on your

hand, then use that virtual keypad to make a call

Draw a circle on wrist to get a virtual watch that gives you

correct time

Sixth sense can be programmed to project related videos on to

newspaper articles you are reading

The system can project Amazon ratings and other relevant

information like reviews on the book

The system will recognize your boarding pass and let you

know whether your flight is on time and whether gate has

changed
