SixthSense prototype Pranav Mistry's
The SixthSense technology contain a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera contained in a pendant-like, wearable device. Both the projector the camera and sensors are connected to a mobile computing device in the user's pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks users' hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques.[1] The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tips of the user's fingers. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. SixthSense supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction.
Pranav Mistry (b. 1981 in Palanpur, India) is an Indian computer scientist. Recently he joined Samsung electronic. Previously he was a research assistant and a PhD candidate at MIT Media Lab.
Before joining MIT Pranav worked as a UX Researcher with Microsoft. Pranav holds a Master's degree in Media Arts and Sciences from MIT and Master of Design from Industrial Design Center, IIT Bombay. He has completed Bachelors' degree in Computer Science and Engineering.[1] He is from Palanpur, which is situated in northern Gujarat in India. Mistry is best known for his work on SixthSense.[2][3][4] Among some of his other work, Pranav has invented Mouseless -- an invisible computer mouse; SPARSH -- a novel way to copy-paste data between digital devices; Quickies -- intelligent sticky notes that can be searched, located and can send reminders and messages; Blinkbot - a gaze and blink controlled robot; a pen that can draw in 3D; and a public map that can act as Google of physical world. Pranav's research interests include Augmented reality, Ubiquitous computing, Gestural interaction, AI, Machine vision, Collective intelligence and Robotics.
Pranav's research on SixthSense was awarded the 2009 Invention Award by Popular Science.[2] He was also named to the MIT Technology Review TR35 as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[5] In 2010, he was named to Creativity Magazine's Creativity 50.[6] Mistry has been called "one of ten, best inventors in the world right now"[7] by Chris Anderson. Mistry has been listed as one of the 15 Asian Scientists To Watch by Asian Scientist Magazine on 15 May 2011.[8] GQ India listed Pranav as one of the most powerful Digital Indians.[9][10] Recently, He was also listed as one of the 37 Indians of Tomorrow by India Today[11]
