This paper deals with the new emerging technology The Sixth Sense. It's a wearable mobile interface that augments the physical world around us with the digitalised machine world. This technology bridges the gap between the digital world and real world just by allowing the interaction of humans with the machines through simple hand gestures. The category under which this technology falls is the Augmented Reality Technology. This paper eyes on the possible applications and outcomes of such technology and the advantages and drawbacks of the technology after sourcing or implementing it into real world for use. The most important are the technical challenges faced to get succeeded in future and enhancing it more for future and optimal use.
— Sixth sense Technology is a wearable gestural interface which augments the physical world around us with the digital world and it enables the user to use their natural hand gestures to interact with that such information. It is a neck-worn gestural interface in which two main components are used; a data projector and a camera. This technology enables the user to connect with the internet. This technology works on the principles of image processing and gestural recognition. This technology has established a new field in Human Computer Interaction. In this paper we present a brief study or review on sixth sense technology.

An Overview of the Emerging Technology: Sixth Sense Technology: A Review" We have five senses in which we glory and which we recognise and celebrate, senses that constitute the sensible world for us. But there are other senses-secret senses, sixth senses, if you will-equally vital, but unrecognised, and unlauded. These senses, unconscious, automatic, had to be discovered. " ― Oliver Sacks. This paper discusses a technology which is amazing everyone worldwide in today " s time, which is " Sixth Sense Technology ". All human beings are aware of the five basic senses i.e. Sight, Hearing, Taste, Touch, Smell. Sixth Sense technology was developed by a man named Pranav Mistry, a Ph D student. " Sixth Sense Technology " is used to build bridge between the digital world and the physical world, bringing impalpable, digital information out into the palpable world, and allows us to interact with this information using natural hand gestures. The paper showcases the possible applications and opportunities of Sixth Sense. Furthermore, the implementation approaches are compared and the pros and cons of each approach are explored. Most importantly, technical challenges and open issues regarding each implementation approach are brought out. Furthermore, predictions are made on which approach is expected to succeed in the coming years. Finally, solutions are discussed to improve the Sixth Sense Technology with regards to its implementation approaches to insure new and better ways of human-computer interaction.
This paper deals with a Sixth Sense device which works of the principles of gesture recognition and image processing to capture, zoom (in and out), toggle pictures and control mouse pointer with ease just by the help of colored caps worn on the fingertips of the user. Sixth Sense can also obey hand gestures. The camera recognizes objects around a person instantly and performs various gesture related applications depending upon the scenario. Also can access or manipulate the information using fingers.
Development of user interfaces influences the changes in the human-computer interaction (HCI). Despite tremendous development in input devices, many people still find the interaction with computers an uncomfortable experience. Efforts should be made to adapt computers to our natural means of communication: speech and body language. Human hand gestures have been a mode of nonverbal interaction widely used. Naturalistic and intuitiveness of the hand gesture has been a great motivating factor for the researchers in the area of HCI to put their efforts to research and develop the more promising means of interaction between human and computers. The aim of this paper is to propose a real-time vision system within visual interaction with computer environments through hand gesture recognition, using general-purpose hardware and low-cost sensors, like a simple computer and an USB web camera, so any user could make use of it in his office or at home. The gesture recognition system uses image processing techniques for detection, segmentation, tracking and recognition of hand gestures for converting it to a meaningful command. The interface being proposed here can be substantially applied towards different applications like open the system calculator, watch, image browser, games, etc.
