ABSTRACT Sixth Sense is a gesture-based wearable computer interface system developed at MIT Media Lab by Steve Mann in 1994 and in 1997 (head worninterface) was developed, and in 1998 (version), was developed and further Pranav Mistry from MIT MEDIA LAB developed hardwaresoftware for head worn and neck worn versions inyear of 2009. It connects the physical world with digital world around us .It consists of hardware components connected wirelessly to the computing peripherals. It uses enabling surfacephysical object as interface and it reduces the gap of line between physical and digital world. It take right decision which improve our power of knowledge. Goal is to bring part of the physical world to digital world. Keyword: Augmented, Gesture, Sixth sense applications. INTRODUCTION Sixth sense technology is a wearable gestural interface which bridges the rupture between real world and digital world physical object and enables us to interact with this using natural hand work is a embellishment like mobile wearable gestures. Sixth Sense is a mini-projector coupled with camera and cell phone.

Five natural senses are in need to take information from the world and take decision and action. Information can be collected by using mobile, computer etc. But five senses is just not enough to give the write result, there is no defined relation between physical object and real world. Information is described traditionally on paper or digitably on screen. To come up with this drawbacks sixth sense technology evolved. It gives us freedom to interact with physical world by mere hand gesture. Mostly used in artificial intelligence and this methodology can help develop robots that will interact with humans.

nd Science,

First founded a head worn projector and camera in 1994, and then he developed it and proposed neck worn projector and camera during 1998 and further it was developed by Pranav Mistry who is a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT Media Lab.

COMPONENT: The hardware components are merged in a pendant like mobile wearable device. 1. CAMERA:

Captures an object for view and tracks the user’s hand gestures. It sends the data to smart phone. It acts like a digital eye, connecting you to the world of digitalization. 2. PROJECTOR:

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

The usage of the mirror is similar as projector swings loosely pointing downwards from the neck.

HOW DOES IT WORKS: The peripheral that makes Sixth Sense work is a pendant like mobile wearablecamera, a mirror and a projector and is connected without wire to a Bluetooth smart phone the camera identifies individuals, images, pictures, gestures one makes with their hands. Information is sent to Smartphone for process. The projector which is facing down projects the output image on to the mirror which reflects image on to the planned surface. Thus, digital information is freed and placed in the physical world.

LATEST TECHNOLOGY: Currently a laser projector with a laser diode is used which projects inside on any surface. The interesting fact about laser projector is that is never goes out of focus. Since the application been suggested in the interface requires user to wear projector on their body and so laser projector become more popular as there is no need to adjust focus. APPLICATIONS: MAKE A PHONE CALL: You can use the Sixth Sense to view a keypad on your hand, and then use that virtual keypad to make a call.

MAP CALL: User can call map function which enables the user to navigate a map displayed on a nearby surface using hand gestures. With the map application user can call up the map and use thumbs and index fingers to navigate the map. CHECK YOUR’S TIME: Virtual watch gives you the correct time, on your wrist which has a circle drawn by us.

CREATE MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY:Sixth Sense can be programmed as videos on newspaper articles as it makes details so interactive
