"'SixthSense' is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. "
Sixth sense was invented by pranav mistry from india. It was created to allow us to interact with the digital world as we would with the physical world. What pranav wanted to do was take technology out of the confines of mobile phones or ipods and release them into the physical world.
The sixth sense prototype is made up of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera.
the projector allows you to project visual info on walls,paper any surface around us while the camera tracks hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. Coloured markers are used on each finger which allow you to control the visual info by using your hands.
The current prototype system would cost about €223 to build. Ha deadly!!
