11th Flattener “The Sixth Sense Technology”
11th Flattener “The Sixth Sense Technology” Innovation is the essence of the 21’st century .Innovation and integration taking place all over the world has created world into a more proficient “Global Village”. As propounded by Friedman 10 flatterers helped in amalgamating the world more closely and thus enhancing the global interdependence.

It is new innovative technology developed by Pranav Mistry of MIT. Sixth sense uses the internet into a sixth human sense. Sixth sense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and helps to interact with information with natural hand gestures. The Sixth Sense prototype is comprised of pocket projector, a mirror, camera, mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks user's hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tip of the user’s fingers using simple computer-vision techniques.
