Sixth Sense Technology

Upplagd av TomElsten

Sixth sense technology allows (almost) any surface to become interactive by creating an augmented reality. Said device consists of a small projector, combined with a mobile phone and a camera suspended around ones neck. The camera constantly reads and analyzes every object in front of the user and projects additional information on it. By using special finger caps, gestures can be used as input for the device. With this technology, ubiquitous computing could change from an environment where there are computers embedded everywhere to a central personal computer that simply analyzes everything that goes on around us. Because the device is connected to an external computer that does all of the calculations, a small size is ensured. The most fascinating about this technology is that (almost) any object can become interactive and that you are connected all the time. Whether the latter is a good thing remains the subject of debate.
