What makes it so special?

Evolution is the law of nature. This also holds true for mobile industry. Nowadays mobiles can be used as fashion accessories. It is like wearing mobile phones as a necklace or a bracelet. Mobile phone is now a thing that is to be flaunted rather than hiding it in pocket or a bag. Ring tones are no more a disturbance to other people because a mobile that is worn on the wrist can be easily kept on the vibration mode and can be peacefully used. It can also be used at noisy places by putting a microphone and speaker very close to the ear and the mouth. The hand can be used in doing other useful work like writing. Because the electromagnetic field is very far away from the head, the fear of electro smog is also wiped off. Because the microphone and speaker are separated, the phone can be adjusted according to the personal shape of human cranium. The touch screen is equipped with voice activated and hands-free software so it can dial and pick up and also hang up the line. And also it is fun to use.

It works on certain gestures and on object recognition. The sixth sense aims to integrate information and technology into everyday life. It is a simple web cam and portable battery powered projector with a small mirror that are fashioned into a pendant style necklace which communicates with the cell phone. In this a hand can be used as a keypad for calling call up a map or to arrange the pictures and the videos. Emailing can be done by simple gesturing and also for getting flight updates.
