In our everyday lives, we are using our 5 senses to take in information in the world around us and to respond to it: touching, seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting. Have you ever thought about what could be the sixth sense, particularly when living in 21st century, in the age of information technologies, where everything is going online and mobile?
Well, what discovered the MIT students is something that can totally be described as turning internet into the sixth human sense. Besides using all your 5 senses, now you are always in need of having some information from the computer or from internet. How about having all that with you and feeling like Tom Cruise in Minority Report?
SixthSense is the latest invention from MIT folks, which gives you the opportunity to get on spot information about anything you want with just having a flat surface. SixthSense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets you use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. By using a camera and a tiny projector mounted in a pendant like wearable device, SixthSense sees what you see and visually augments any surfaces or objects we are interacting with. It projects information onto surfaces, walls, and physical objects around us, and lets you interact with the projected information through natural hand gestures, arm movements, or your interaction with the object itself. SixthSense attempts to free information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer.
This was also presented on the TED conference, and you can watch how Pattie Maes of the labs Fluid Interfaces group presents it.
