DEFINITION Sixth sense is a wearable gestural interface. It mixes real world with the digital information and lets us use hand gestures to interact with the Digital information. It uses hand gestures to interact with the information. Steve mann was the first person to implement sixth sense technology as the neck worn projector with a camera system. It was developed by pranav mistry a phD student at MIT media lab.

THE DEVICES USED IN SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY ARE:


CAMERA.

COLOURED MARKERS.
MOBILE TECHNOLOGY. MIRROR. PROJECTOR.

BLOCK DIAGRAM

GESTURE RECOGNITION
Gesture recognition is the inverse process of converting the 2D image to 3D format . Infra red coding is adopted in structured light sensing circuit. The light in the surrounding is divided into dark and white bands. These bands are converted into digital data and sent to smartphone.

STRUCTURED LIGHT SENSING CIRCUIT.

Codeaddpath('Mex') //It adds folders to top or bottom of program// SAMPLE_XML_PATH='Config/SampleIRConfig.xml'; //Extensible markup language Used for machine aswell human reading it is an markup Language. %Start the Kinect Process KinectHandles=mxNiCreateContext(SAMPLE_XML_PATH );// this function connects to the microsoft image or data kinect file and uses it//. figure;//Array with pointers to kinect node objects generated//. J=mxNiInfrared(KinectHandles); J=permute(J,[2 1]);//Rearranging of dimensions of array is done//. h=imshow(J,[0 1024]);//displays image in handle graphics figure 0 and 1 for IR//. for i=1:9000//length:depth view 3D data in IR form//. J=mxNiInfrared( KinectHandles); J=permute(J,[2 1]); set(h,'Cdata',J);//Handle graphics interface in matlab//. end % Stop the Kinect Process//closes kinect objects connected to kinect streams//. mxNiDeleteContext(KinectHandles);

IR CODING

Coding segment in gesture capture

Hardware Required
Mobile smart phone is used (running jelly bean 4.0* and IOS* editions). It has multitasking capability. Built-in camera provides execution of both: Gesture tracking circuit. Gesture enabled application.

Projector

Pocket projector Pk101 is used. It augments nearby surfaces. It is a LED based projector. Suitable for mobile usage.

Software Required

Applications are simple or video mented using JAVA 2MICROedition. Computer vision library is written in Symbian c++ (used in Gesture tracking)and MATLAB is also used.

CAMERA

Captures the objects in view and tracks the users hand gestures.
It sends the data to smart phone.

It acts as a digital eye connecting you to a world of Digital information.

COLOUR MARKERS

It is at the tip of users fingures.


Marking the users fingures with red,yellow,green and blue tape helps the webcam recognize gestures. The movements and arrangements of these makers are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces.

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

SMARTPHONE

A Web-enabled smart phone in the users pocket processes the video data.
Other software searches the Web and interprets the hand gestures

PROJECTOR

The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces and physical objects to be used as interfaces
The project itself contains a battery inside, with 3 hours of battery life. A tiny LED projector displays data sent from the smart phone on any surface in viewobject, wall, or person.

APPLICATIONS

MAKING A CALL
You can use the Sixth Sense to project a keypad onto your hand, then use that virtual keypad to make a call.

CALL UP A MAP
With the map application we can call up the map of our choice and then use thumbs and index fingers to navigate the map.

CREATE MULTIMEDIA READING EXPERIENCE.


Sixth Sense can be programmed to project related videos onto newspaper articles you are reading.

FEED INFORMATION ON PEOPLE

The system will project relevant information about a person such as what they do, where they work, and so on.

TAKE PICTURES
If you fashion your index

fingers and thumbs into a square 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.

GET PRODUCTION INFORMATION


Sixth Sense uses image recognition or marker technology to recognize products we pick up, then feeds us information on those products.

GET BOOK INFORMATION


The system can project Amazon ratings on that book, as well as reviews and other relevant information.

DRAWING APPLICATION
The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the users index finger.

ZOOMING TECHNOLOGY
The user can zoom in or zoom out using intuitive hand movements.

ADVANTAGES
Portable. Support Multi touch and Multi user interaction. Cost Effective(300$). Data access directly from the machines in real time.

Mind map the idea anywhere.


Open Source Software.

CONCLUSION
Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around us, displaying information automatically and letting us to access it in any way we need.

Allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures.

The Sixth Sense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system.
