SIXTH SENSE – FUTURE OF DIGITAL TECHOLOGY

SIXTH SENSE – MANAV PITSY

Everybody in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think

‘SixthSense’ 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.

Moreover, Sixth sense is in fact, about comprehending information more than our available senses. And today there is not just this physical world from where we get information but also the digital world which has become a part of our life. This digital world is now as important to us as this physical world. And with the internet the digital world can be expanded many times the physical world. God hasn’t given us sense to interact with the digital world so we have created them like smart phones, tablets, computers, laptops, PDAs, music players, and others gadgets. These gadgets enable us to communicate with the digital world around us.
But we’re humans and our physical body isn’t meant for digital world so we can’t interact directly to the digital world. For instance we press keys to dial a number; we type text to search it and so on. This means for an individual to communicate with the digital world he/she must learn it. We don’t communicate directly and efficiently to the digital world as we do with the real world. The sixth sense technology is all about interacting to the digital world in most efficient and direct way. Hence, it wouldn’t be wrong to conclude sixth sense technology as a dimension between digital and real life world.  Before Wear Ur World (WuW) came there were other methods like speech recongition software, touch recognition etc., which empowered us with direct interfacing.
