Sixsense Technology
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Over millions of years to sense the world around us. When encounter something, someone or some place, use five our natural senses which includes eye, ear, nose, tongue mind and body to perceive information about it, that information helps us make decisions and chose the right actions to take. But arguably the most useful information that can help make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with five senses, namely the data, information and knowledge that mankind has accumulated about everything and which is increasingly all available online. Although the miniaturization of computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually connected to the digital world, there is no link between our digital devices and our interactions with the physical world. Information is confined traditionally on paper or digitally on a screen. Sixth Sense bridges this gap, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures. ‘Sixth Sense’ frees information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer.
Sixth Sense Technology it is the newest jargon that has proclaimed its presence in the technical arena. This technology has emerged, which has its relation to the power of these six senses. Our ordinary computers will soon be able to sense the different feelings accumulated in the surroundings and it is all a gift of the ”Sixth Sense Technology” newly introduced. Sixth Sense is a wearable “gesture based” device that augments the physical world with digital information and let’s people use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. It was developed by Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab. A grad student with the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT, he caused a storm with his creation of Sixth Sense. He says that the
