Abstract
Over the past decade businesses and as a matter of fact commerce has gone through some
revolution from the traditional commerce to a digitized platform, thus from “face – to-face” to a
virtual economy which is being pioneered by technology. Now mobile users are able to use their
phones to transact businesses every day. On the mobile commerce platform users can procure
flight ticket and utilize the electronic statement on usersr cellphone to verify users flight. Now
smartphones has the ability to establish nearby stores or vending stands with Global Positioning

massive praise for it unthinkable innovation and easy to use tools is Sixth Sense Technology.
Sixth sense is a wearable motion based gadget that connects our real world with digital information
on the computer and let us use ordinary hand signals and gestures to intermingle with that
information, thus making it an interface between our brain and the computer [2]. The sixth sense
technology conception is a technological move and idea to tie the digital world with the real world.
Its basic use is to cause computers to adapt to human needs. This mean users do need neither a
mobile phone nor a laptop to carry out transactions on a digitized economy. Now the question is
with this kind of technology where lies the future and faith of mobile commerce (m-commerce)? In
this paper, we will be discussing the practical facet of m-commerce and the sixth sense technology.
We will also cover the emergence and necessity of sixth sense technology, why it will shadow
