In this chapter, the authors discuss a unique technology known as the Sixth Sense Technology, highlighting the future opportunities of such technology in integrating the digital world with the real world. Challenges in implementing such technologies are also discussed along with a review of the different possible implementation approaches. This review is performed by exploring the different inventions in areas similar to the Sixth Sense Technology, namely augmented reality (AR), computer vision, image processing, gesture recognition, and artificial intelligence and then categorizing and comparing between them. Lastly, recommendations are discussed for improving such a unique technology that has the potential to create a new trend in human-computer interaction (HCI) in the coming years.

Computer Interaction

This paper is written by two people who come from rather different backgrounds, yet who, at the same time, share similar concerns about the human-computer interaction (HCI) area. One of us has a background in computing and cognitive science. The other person has a background in software engineering and computer systems design. As both of us are concerned with making more useful and usable computer applications we decided to look further for frameworks to help us. In this paper we shall try to expose some of the problems that we encountered in our joint effort to understand the HCI area and contribute to it, and to discuss some of the tensions and alternative viewpoints that we met on the way. The paper does not contain a solution to the problems of HCI. Rather, it contains a dialogue with ourselves about the matters of our concern, and we invite the reader to join this dialogue: our focus is on technology in use, where we emphasize the setting in which a piece of technology is used.

Computer Interaction

<p>Within human-computer interaction cognitive science is today the leading approach. Yet its position is threaded philosophically as well as from within the field. Most attempts to re-frame human-computer interaction from within the field are minor revisions to the traditional theoretical basis, still without much to say about real-life computer applications. In this paper I shall present and discuss an alternative approach based on activity theory.</p><p>The following summarizes the theoretical anchor points:</p><p>Activity is mediated. That artifacts mediate use means that we are normally not aware of them as such in use, they are transparent to us. Artifacts are seen as historical devices.</p><p>Although collective, each activity is conducted through actions of individuals.</p><p>Activities are not taking place in isolation but interwoven with other activities. Artifacts may be the instruments of a web of activities. The concepts of breakdowns and focus shifts are used in the further analysis of specific computer applications in use, and a mapping technique for such analysis is developed. Based on an example I take the first steps towards a more contex\-tualized analysis of human-computer interaction. The human activity framework has provided a vehicle for bringing together an overall analysis of work and use of computer technology with a detailed analysis of human-computer interaction. It provides a way of understanding the relations between the overall socio-political conditions of work and the specific use of the specific computer application in a specific situation. What actually goes on may be analysed from many different levels of activity, where the actual actors are different, and maybe even different from those who conduct the specific actions.</p>
