We, humans, interact with the world using our five senses. But as the name suggests this technology brings forward an additional sixth sense. A sixth sense is an ESP(Extra Sensory Perception) that aims at a more developed future with both the physical and digital world connected without the help of hardware devices. We come to a step nearer to this goal of the sixth sense with the introduction of sixth sense technology. The origin of sixth sense technology can be traced back to Steve Mann who implemented a wearable computer in the form of a neck-projector coupled with a camera system in 1990. In later years, following his footsteps, Pranav Mistry, a young research scientist at MIT came up with new applications for this technology. Thus, the sixth sense technology was developed at Media labs at MIT and was coined Wear Ur World (WUW). The device has various applications such as the drawing application in which movement of the index finger is recognized and the user can draw on any surfac...
