ABSTRACT ON SIXTH SENCE
Mobile phones are the most widespread ubiquitous devices. Due to their inherent context-awareness , they are increasingly used to interact with the user s current surroundings and nearby realworld objects. Sensors integrated in today s mobile phones such as GPS receivers, compasses, accelerometers and cameras not only allow to view digital information about such objects but also to manipulate it.
The project 6th sense is , a mobile gestural-controlled system, have attracted considerable interest. The portable combination of a common webcam, a laptop computer and a tiny projector allows the augmentation of arbitrary surfaces and objects by projected information while triggering actions through natural hand gestures. The visual detection of a user s gestures causes the involved computer to vanish into the background. Still, the system relies on the laptop computer which has to be carried in a backpack when used on the move.
Inspired by this work and with emerging projector phones in mind, we develop a framework supporting hand gesture manipulation of projected content through a mobile phone. Our aim is to make the mobile phone a wearable, truly unnoticeable mediator between the real and the virtual world changing the human interaction style from a device-centric over to a contentcentric one.
