Devyani Agarwal, Lakshay Malhotra, Arunima Jaiswal . Sixth Sense Technology: A Variant for Upcoming Technologies. International Journal of Computer Applications. 102, 4 ( September 2014), 20-25. DOI=10.5120/17803-8618
'Sixth sense' is a way of opening up to the vast world which cannot be identified by five senses. Mr. Steve Mann in 1990 started working on this idea which led to the innovation of 'Sixth sense technology' using a Telepointer, a wearable device for the experience of visuals on real world objects. His wok was then carried on by a younger lad, Pranav Mistry. Sixth sense device is based on gesture interactions and its interface, a kind of device which doesn't need to carry any big attribute like a camera or watch. Six sense technology is a new & interesting stream of technology, which can be the most approachable as it is all about interacting with the digiworld directly. The device uses mirror, camera, pocket projector, smart phone & color markers to identify any object or some view and then it imparts it over the real world.
