“SixthSense” Creator Pranav Mistry Releasing Code for Super-Cool Wearable Gesture Interface Device

At the beginning of this year, you may have heard about the Sixth Sense system by MIT’s Indian Student Pranav Mistry. This system is a camera and projector that you wear around your neck. The camera records everything that you see and can even recognize hand gestures made with the help of colored finger tips. The camera is connected to a computer system that has instant access to the internet. When the user wants to pull up information they make a simple gesture, and the information is displayed onto any surface that the user holds in front of them. This technology will definitely give the user a new way of seeing the world with information at their finger tips. You can see the full video demo at our Video Collection.

The software developer, Pranav Mistry, has announced that the Sixth Sense system will be coming licensed in the next few months. From there the software will become available to the public so that individuals can design their own Sixth Sense systems. “I notice that it’s hard to for these kind of things to market in some sense. . . because I don’t want this to comply with some of kind of corporate policy,” says Mistry. “Rather than waiting for that time to come, I want people to make their own system. Why not?” To make a copy of the prototype, builders are looking at about $350 in parts. But that is a small price to pay to build your own futuristic information device.
