sixthsense 300x294 SixthSense   Wearable Gesture InterfaceSixthSense is a wearable gesture interface that allows you to use gestures to interact with the world around you. The system uses a mini projector, webcam and colours on the ends of your fingers to let you interact with anything you look at.

The system works by using the camera to detect the colours on your fingers and depending on the gestures you make it can either project an image or capture an image. Examples of use could be creating a frame with your fingers which the system then recognises and uses the camera to capture the scene with in your finger frame. Other uses are looking at books while the system scans the book title, downloads a * rating and projects the rating on to the cover so you can know what others have thought about the book. Also looking at your flight ticket and having live flight information projected on to your ticket such as details on flight delays.

For a full explanation check out the video below. Of course it has some way to go before even being usable, but there is some potential there.
