Sixth Sense 1

The SixthSense device is a portable wearable technology developed by Pranav Mistry. It consists of a camera, colored markers worn on the fingertips, a projector, and connects to a smartphone. The camera tracks the movement of the markers using algorithms. The projector then projects the tracked movements or other stored data onto surfaces. Examples include taking a photo by making a frame with hands, projecting maps or webpages onto surfaces with hand gestures. The device costs around $300 and the software is open source. It has potential medical applications for surgical procedures and rehabilitation techniques using its tracking capabilities.
