Abstract For Sixth Sense Tech Ppt Navin 2u4ro

Sixth Sense Technology ABSTRACT: SixthSense' is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. We've evolved over millions of years to sense the world around us. When we encounter something, someone or some place, we use our five natural senses 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 us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with our 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. SixthSense bridges this gap, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures. ‘SixthSense’ frees information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer. The SixthSense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system. The map application lets the navigate a map displayed on a nearby surface using hand gestures, similar to gestures ed by Multi-Touch based systems, letting the zoom in, zoom out or pan using intuitive hand movements. The drawing application lets the draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the ’s index finger. SixthSense also recognizes ’s freehand gestures (postures). For example, the SixthSense system implements a gestural camera that takes photos of the scene the is looking at by detecting the ‘framing’ gesture. The can stop by any surface or wall and flick through the photos he/she has taken. SixthSense also lets the draw icons or symbols in the air using the movement of the index finger and recognizes those symbols as interaction instructions. For example, drawing a magnifying glass symbol takes the to the map application or drawing an ‘@’ symbol lets the check his mail. The SixthSense system also augments physical objects the is interacting with by projecting more information about these objects projected on them. For example, a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper. The gesture of drawing a circle on the ’s wrist projects an analog watch. INTRODUCTION: The SixthSense prototype is comprised of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the ’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 's hand gestures and physical objects using computervision 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 ’s fingers using simple computer-vision techniques. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. The maximum number of tracked fingers is only constrained by the number of unique

fiducials,

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an electronic tagging technology that allows the detection and tracking of tags, and consequently the objects they are af-fixed to.SixthSense focuses on applying RFID to an enterprise setting, such as a corporate office or university department. In short SixthSense represents a form of mobile computing applied to non-computing entities. SIXTHSENSEARCHITECTURE: Assumptions: SixthSense assumes an enterprise setting with widespread coverage of RFID readers and that people and objects are tagged with RFID. s are free to pick up new tags and affix them to objects, as and when needed. Architectural Components: The key components of the system, including the databases, inference engine, and applications, are run centrally by the enterprise the various components of Sixth-Sense are: 1)RFID Monitor: It issues a read command every 500 ms to the RFID reader which then reports the EPC and the signal strength of the tags read via each of its antennas. Other Enterprise Monitors: 2)Calendar Monitor: monitors the time and location of the . 3)Presence Monitor: monitors the status of each and interaction with their desktop 4)Cameras: The camera feed is stored in a video database for future analysis, 5) Monitor: general is a much stronger indication of a being present than simply a change in their machine . Raw database: The RFID monitor and the other enterprise monitors push data into the raw database. Processed database: It is populated by the inference engine with its inferences Inference engine: operates on the raw database using the algorithms to draw inferences APPLICATIONS _ Make a call _ Call up a map _ Check the time _ Create multimedia reading experience _ Drawing application _ Zooming features _ Get product information _ Get book information _ Get flight updates _ Feed information on people _ Take pictures _ Check the email

Advantages: 1. SixthSense is an friendly interface which integrates digital information into the physical world and its objects, making the entire world your computer. 2. SixthSense does not change human habits but causes computer and other machines to adapt to human needs. 3. It uses hand gestures to interact with digital information. 4. s multi-touch and multi- interaction 5. Data access directly from machine in real time 6. It is an open source and cost effective and we can mind map the idea anywhere 7. It is gesture-controlled wearable computing device that feeds our relevant information and turns any surface into an interactive display. 8. It is portable and easy to carry as we can wear it in our neck. 9. The device could be used by anyone without even a basic knowledge of a keyboard or mouse. 10. There is no need to carry a camera anymore. If we are going for a holiday, then from now on wards it will be easy to capture photos by using mere fingers Future Enhancements: 1. To get rid of colour markers 2. To incorporate camera and projector inside mobile computing device. 3. Whenever we place pendant- style wearable device on table, it should allow us to use the table as multi touch interface. 4. Applying this technology in various interest like gaming, education systems etc. 5. To have 3D gesture tracking. 6. To make sixth sense work as fifth sense for disabled person.
