    Abstract

    This paper discusses a technology that is expected to widely spread in the near future, which is the Sixth Sense Technology. With this new technology yet to be introduced in the market, different implementation approaches are discussed. Such approaches are demonstrated through other inventions similar to the Sixth Sense (SS). They all fall into the same category, which is Augmented Reality Technologies. The paper focuses on the possible applications and opportunities of such technology. Furthermore, the implementation approaches are compared and the pros/cons of each approach are explored. Most importantly, technical challenges and open issues regarding each implementation approach are brought out. Furthermore, predictions are made on which approach is expected to succeed in the coming years. Finally, solutions are discussed to improve the Sixth Sense Technology with regards to its implementation approaches to insure new and better ways of human-computer interaction.
