Touchless Technology in User Interfaces

This document discusses touchless technology that allows users to interact with screens without physically touching them. It describes a touchless monitor developed by TouchKo, White Electronics Designs, and Groupe 3D that uses sensors around the screen to detect 3D hand motions and translate them into on-screen interactions. Various open-source SDKs and demos are mentioned that developers can use to incorporate this touchless technology into their applications. A number of other touchless and gesture-based input technologies are also listed.

Roll No:1
 This unique screen is made by TouchKo , White
Electronics Designs , and Groupe 3D.

 The screen resembles the Nintendo Wii without the Wii


Controller.
 The Touchless technology are being used in many
forms in many different places.
 The monitor, based on technology from TouchKo was
recently demonstrated by White Electronic Designs and
Tactyl Services at the CeBIT show.

 The technology detects motion in 3D and requires no


special worn-sensors for operation.
 The system is capable of detecting movements in 3-
dimensions without ever having to put your fingers on
the screen.

 Sensors are mounted around the screen that is being


used, by interacting in the line-of-sight of these sensors
the motion is detected and interpreted into on-screen
movements
 The basic idea described in the patent is that there
would be sensors arrayed around the perimeter of the
device capable of sensing finger movements in 3-D
space
 The Touchless SDK is an open source SDK for .NET
applications.
 It enables developers to create multi-touch based
applications using a webcam for input.
 The demo was created using the Touch less SDK and
Windows Forms with C#.
 There are 4 fun demos:
◦ Snake - where you control a snake with a marker
◦ Defender - up to 4 player version of a pong-like game
◦ Map - where you can rotate, zoom, and move a map using 2
markers
◦ Draw the marker is used to guess what…. draw!
 Touch Wall refers to the touch screen hardware setup
itself; the corresponding software to run Touch Wall,
which is built on a standard version of Vista, is called
Plex.

 Touch Wall consists of three infrared lasers that scan a


surface.
 1. Tobii Rex:
Tobii Rex is an eye-tracking device from Sweden
which works with any computer running on Windows
8. The device has a pair of infrared sensors built in that
will track the user’s eyes.
 2. Elliptic Labs

Elliptic Labs allows you to operate your computer


without touching it with the Windows 8 Gesture Suite.
 3. Airwriting

Airwriting is a technology that allows you to write


text messages or compose emails by writing in the air.
 4. EyeSight

eyeSight is a gesture techonology which allows


you to navigate through your devices by just pointing at
it.
 5. Mauz

Mauz is a third party device that turns your iPhone


into a trackpad or mouse.
 6. PointGrab

PointGrab is something similar to eyeSight, in that it


enables users to navigate on their computer just by
pointing at it.
 7. Leap Motion

Leap Motion is a motion sensor device that


recognizes the user’s fingers with its infrared LEDs and
cameras.
 8. Myoelectric Armband

Myoelectric armband or MYO armband is a gadget


that allows you to control your other bluetooth enabled
devices using your finger or your hands.
 9. Microsoft Kinect

It detects and recognizes a user’s body movement


and reproduces it within the video game that is being
played.
 Today’s thoughts are again around user interface.
 The Touch less touch screen user interface can be used
effectively in computers, cell phones, webcams and
laptops
 May be few years down the line, our body can be
transformed into a virtual mouse, virtual keyboard ,Our
body may be turned in to an input device!
