Sixth sense is a wearable gestural interface device by Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab. The concept is similar to telepointer, a neckworn projector/camera system developed by Media Lab student Steve Mann. (which Mann originally referred to as "Synthetic Synesthesia of the Sixth Sense").

will be released under Open Source. On September 5th, 2011, Mistry added a link to the SixthSense page on his personal website to a Google Code SixthSense project.
1.4 Applications
TAKE PICTURE If you fashion your index fingers and thumbs into a square , the system will snap a photo. After taking the desired number of photos ,we can project them onto a surface, and use gestures to sort through the photos, and organise and realise them.
Make a call You can use a six sense to project a keypad onto your hand, then use that virtual keypad to make a call
Call up a map With the map application we can call up the map of your choice and then use thumb and index fingers to navigate the map
Check the time Draw a circle on your wrist to get a virtual watch that gives you a corect time .
Create multimedia reading experience Six sense can be programmed to project related videos onto newspaper articles you are reading
Drawing application The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the finger tip movements of the users index fingers
Zooming features The user can use zoom in or zoom out using intuative hand movements.
Get book information The system can project rating of the book,its reviews and other relevant information.
Get flight updates The system will recognise your boarding pass and let you know whether your flight is on time and if the gate has changed.
1.5 ADVANTAGES
Portable. Supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction. Cost effective. Saves time for sarching information. Mapping can also be done anywhere by zooming-in and zooming out.
1.6 Limitations
Software does support the ability to use real timevideo streams in order to produce augmented reality. Hardware limitations of the devices, that wecurrently carry around with us. For example many phones will not allow theexternal camera feed to be manipulated in real time. Post processing can occur however.
According to researchers, after 10 years we will be here with the ultimate six-sense brain implant.
1.8 CONCLUSION
The potential of becoming the ultimate transparent user interface for accessing information about everything around us. Six Sense recognizes the objects around us , displaying information automatically and letting us to access it in any way we need. Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around us,displaying information automatically and letting us to access it in any way we need. The Sixth Sense prototype implements severalapplications that demonstrate the useful ness,viability and flexibility of the system. Allowing us to interact with this information vianatural hand gestures.
