INTRODUCATION
Extrasensory perception is called sixth sense
Text Text

In the tactile world, we use our five senses to take in information about our environment and respond to it.

INTRODUCATION

But a lot of the information that helps us to

understand and respond to the world doesnt come from these senses.

Our goal is to harness computers to feed us

Text information in an organic fashion, like our existing senses.

Sixth sense device is a wearable that augments the

physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.

INTRODUCATION

The prototype of sixth sense uses a camera and

projector brought together in a pendant that is worn around the neck.

Hardware components of a sixth sense device

INVENTOR

Pranav Mistry , an IIT graduate

and research assistant with Massachusetts Institute of Technologys MIT Media Lab, has unveiled new technology called Text Sixth Sense.

The thrilling potential of sixth

sense technology won Inventor of the year 2009 by popular science.

DEVELOPMENT OF SIXTH SENSE TECHNOLOGY

"We wanted to make information more useful to

people in real time with minimal effort in a way that doesnt require any behavior changes". To provide such an interaction an idea came for the development of Sixth sense device.

To develop this technology a simple hardware, but

some serious programming is needed to merge the digital world with the physical world.

Just a few things it can do

The device recognizes items in stores, and then gathers and projects information about products to the user. It also able to provide quick signals to let users know what the best products are based on their needs. Another amazing feature is the devices ability to look at an airplane ticket and let the user know whether the flight is delayed or on time. It is also able to recognize books (based on an image or RFID) in a book store and then project reader reviews or author information from the Internet onto blank pages. The device can also recognize articles in newspapers, retrieve the latest related stories or video from the Internet and then display them on pages for the user. Say goodbye to your dictionary and encyclopedia.

WORKING OF SIXTH SENSE DEVICE

The sixth sense device operating person has to wear

the device around the neck and colored Magic Marker caps on four fingers (red, blue, green and yellow) helped the camera distinguish the four fingers and recognize his hand gestures with software.

"We have a vision of a computing system that

understands, at least to some extent, where the user is, what the user is doing, and who the user is interacting with".

WORKING OF SIXTH SENSE DEVICE

The software searches the internet for

information that is potentially relevant to that situation, and then the projector takes over.

The Sixth Sense can then proactively

make information available to that user based on the situation.

"All the work is in the software". The

system is constantly trying to figure out what's around you, and what you're trying to do.

WORKING OF SIXTH SENSE DEVICE

The device gathers data on the environment around the

user, searches for information using the Internet as a data store, aggregates the results, and presents it back to the user via a display.

Interaction with the projected digital data is possible

with molecular caps. Means they are the sensors for receiving the information from the external world.

We can think it as a meta-data system for real life.

Purpose of Sixth Sense

I believe Sixth Senses purpose would be to allow K-12 students and teachers to interact with information on a level not experienced before In my opinion, at least initially, its purpose would be to motivatemotivatemotivate  This can be used in almost all fields of study.  Operation of the device is simple with the natural gestures.

APPLICATIONS

In games: Unlike the Nintendo Wii, which keeps you

in front of the television, the Sixth Sense system might allow a kid to go outside, and be able to get a real tennis lesson on a real tennis court.

Current applications

In hospitals: Imagine its application in hospital set up.

The nurses and doctors, can simply walk to the patient and track info. Integrating EHR(Electronic Health Record) would make this application an amazing solution in hospital info management.

APPLICATIONS

In smart phones: To identify the thieves. As is as

soon as the thief try to steal the smart phone then it captures the photograph of thief and sends it to the owner's server that night, giving police enough visual evidence.  Taking pictures with simple hand gestures, interacting
with projected keypad, finding a member in our blogger, searcing for the best product, knowing a planes late arrival, drawing a picture, sign in to our mail, to open a menu.

APPLICATIONS

Sixth Sense is a clever way of combining RFID as

a sensor with other patterns and behavior of people
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is used to describe a system that transmits the identity (in the form of a unique serial number) of an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves.

APPLICATIONS

Future applications

Marker less, bare handed tracking of gestures, robust

object recognition and tracking and self-correcting projection.

The next generation washing machine that implements the

6th sense technology.
This new technology can sense the weight of the load and sets the speed of the washing cycle accordingly. It can even sense the amount of soil in the clothes and utilizes the required amount of detergent and water for a perfect A class wash.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Advantages:

Easy to use. It will not cost more. Highly flexible. It can be operated with simple human gestures. Direct interaction with the projected digital information

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

It is open source model. So it is available to everybody.

This development is more interested in allowing the public to access the tools to carry the technology further than just a research company.

This is an effective application for the development of android scanner application. Interactive shopping.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Disadvantages: (after all coin have 2sides)

Sometimes there is no control over the data. Sixth sense software and hardware at present works with only smart phones like Google phone and the iPhone. What about the medical issues of electronic pollution?
Like it took many centuries before we discovered the negative effects of the industrial revolution, it may take many years before we discover the negative effects of the digital revolution.

CONCLUSION

Wear Ur world (WUW) by using sixth sense technology.

This will have an important role in all of the future gadgets.
