Hey readers. Hope you liked the label widget that we posted earlier. You can get the widget here. Today I am here with a new gadget that has hit the stores in the recent times. Yes, you guessed it right. It is the "Sixthsense". Hearing of the word "Sixthsense" you might be wondering if it is the movie released in 1999 or it is the one of myths of sixth sense but all of you are wrong. To know what I am talking about read on.....
What Is This New Gadget??
This is literally call it a computer which runs on your gestures. Can you believe that?? Yes, it is pendant-like mobile device worn on the neck and it grinds with the help of your gestures. The idea of making this amazing gadget was first cultivated in the mind of a MIT Media Lab student whose name is Steve Mann. Then, another identity named Pranav Mistry who is chieftain in Samsung Electronics. Ultimately a great invention.

Compositions Of Sixthsense
This technology comprises of a projector, a pendant-shaped camera and a mirror. All the projector, the camera and sensors are connected to a mobile computing device in the user’s pocket.
The movements and arrangements of these fiducials(Fiducial is an object used in the field of view of an imaging system which appears in the image produced, for use as a point of reference or a measure) are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces.
The sixthsense technology has yet not made such a great impact but once it makes one it can break down any company products. So this technology does take a lot of money to make.
SixthSense prototypes cost approximately $350 to build (not including the computer), the main cost being the micro-projector. Mistry had announced in Nov 2009 that the source code will be released with an open source licence.

Working Of the Sixthsense
The projector projects information visually enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as screens. In this time the camera recognizes and tracks users' hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers at the tips of the user’s fingers. |
