INTRODUCTION
Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface device that augments the physical world with digital information and lets people use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. ”
Hardware setup
Nokia n95 smart phone is used (running symbian O.S s60 edition).
It has multitasking capability.
Built-in camera provides execution of both:
Gesture tracking engine.
Gesture enabled application.
Software setup
Applications are implemented using JAVA 2 MICRO edition.
Computer vision library is written in symbian c++(used in Gesture tracking).
The software for the sixth sense prototype is developed on a Microsoft Windows platform using C#, WPF and open CV.
HOW SOFTWARE WORKS
The software works on the basis of computer vision.
A small camera acting as an eye, connecting us to the world of digital information. Processing is happening in the mobile phone, and basically works on computer vision algorithms.
Approx 50,000 lines of code are used.
ADVANTAGES
Portable
Inexpensive
Multi-sensory
Connectedness between the world and information
It is an open source
Data access directly from machine in real time
LIMITATIONS
Software does support the ability to use real time video streams in order to produce augmented reality.
Hardware limitations of the devices, that we currently carry around with us.
For example many phones will not allow the external camera feed to be manipulated in real time.
Post processing can occur however.
