Design and Implementation of Sixth Sense Gesture Recognition System

Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. All of us are aware of the five basic senses seeing feeling smelling tasting and hearing. But there is also another sense called the sixth sense. It is basically a connection to something greater than what their physical senses are able to perceive. To a layman it would be something supernatural. Sixth Sense is a wearable “gesture based” device that augments the physical world with digital information and lets people use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. The aim of this book is basically to bridge the gap between the physical world and digital world. Sixth Sense technology is a technology with which a system could be trained to recognize and percept real world objects and react as desired. Sixth Sense technology bridges the gap between the physical world and the digital world bringing intangible digital information out into the tangible world and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures.
