INTRODUCTION

Ø Touch screen displays are ubiquitous world wide

Ø Frequent touching a touch screen display can ultimately lead to failure of the touch screen

Ø To avoid this a simple user interface for Touch less control of electrically operated equipment is
being developed.

Ø It is developed by Elliptic Lab

TOUCH SCREEN DEVICES

Ø A touch-screen is an electronic visual display that the user can control through simple or multi-
touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus/pen and-or one or more fingers.

Ø The touch-screen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a
mouse , touchpad, or any other intermediate device

TOUCHLESS TOUCHSCREEN USER
INTERFACE

Ø A simple user interface for Touchless control of electrically operated equipment is being developed

by Elliptic Labs

Ø This technology lets you control our gadgets like Computers, MP3 players or mobile phones
without touching them. 

Ø This unique screen is made by TouchKo, White Electronics Designs, and Groupe 3D.

Ø  It works by detecting your hand movements in front  of it.

Ø  This system depends on hand and or finger motions, a   hand wave in a certain direction

TOUCHLESS TOUCHSCREEN USER
INTERFACE

Ø  The sensor can be placed either on the screen or near the screen.

Ø  The device is based on optical pattern recognition using a solid state optical matrix sensor with a
lens  to detect hand motions
Ø  This sensor is then connected to a digital image
  processor, which interprets the patterns of motion.
Ø Outputs results as signals to control fixtures,
 appliances, machinery, or any device controllable
 through electrical signals

WORKING:

Ø Requires a sensor but the sensor is neither hand mounted nor present on the screen

Ø The sensor can be placed either on the table or near the screen.

Ø The sensor can recognize  the position of an object from as 5 feet 

Ø System is capable of detecting movements in 3D without ever having to put your fingers on the
screen.

Ø 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.

Ø Just point at the screen (from as far as 5 feet away),and you can manipulate objects in 3D.

Ø Gestures are translated into screen commands.

TOUCH SENSOR

Ø Touch sensor is a clear glass panel with a touch responsive area. 

Ø It is placed over a display screen

TOUCHLESS MONITOR

Ø This monitor is made TouchKo 

Ø Our hand doesn’t have to come in contact with

 the screen at all, it works by detecting your hand

 movements in front of it. 

Ø Point your finger in the air towards the device and move it accordingly to control the navigation in
the device 

Ø Designed for applications where touch may be difficult, such as for doctors who might be wearing
surgical gloves. Electrical & Electronics Engineering Department

TOUCHLESS MONITOR

What is the technology behind it?

It obviously requires a sensor but the sensor is neither hand mounted nor present on
the screen. The sensor can be placed either onthe table or near the screen. And
the hardware setup is so compact that it can be fitted into a tiny device like a MP3
player or 

a mobile phone. It recognizes the position of an object from as 5 feet.

                     TOUCHLESS SDK

 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. Color based markers defined by the
user are tracked and their information is published through events
to clients of the SDK.
 In a nutshell, the Touchless SDK enables touch without touching.
Well, Microsoft Office Labs has just released “Touchless,” a
webcam-driven multi-touch interface SDK that enables “touch
without touching.”

                     TOUCHLESS DEMO

         The Touch less Demo is an open source application that

anyone with a webcam can use to experience multi-touch, no
geekiness required. 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, and Draw  the marker is
used to guess what….  draw!

                     TOUCHLESS DEMO

 Mike demonstrated Touch less at a recent Office Labs’ Productivity Science Fair where it was voted
by attendees as “most interesting project.” If you wind up using the SDK, one would love to hear what
use you make of it!

                     TOUCHLESS WALL

 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 and Plex are superficially similar to Microsoft Surface, a
multi-touch table computer that was introduced in 2007 and which
recently became commercially available in select AT&T stores.

                     TOUCHLESS WALL

 It is a fundamentally simpler mechanical system, and is also significantly cheaper to produce. While
Surface retails at around $10,000, the hardware to “turn almost anything into a multi-touch interface” for
Touch Wall is just “hundreds of dollars”.

 It’s also clear that the only real limit on the screen size is the projector, meaning that entire walls can
easily be turned into a multi touch user interface. Scrap those white boards in the office, and make every
flat surface into a touch display instead. You might even save  some money.

WHAT'S NEXT??

 Many personal computers will likely have similar screens in the near future. But touch interfaces are
nothing new -- witness ATM machines. 
 How about getting completely out of touch? A startup called LM3Labs says it's working with major
computer makers in Japan, Taiwan and the US to incorporate touch less navigation into their laptops,
Called Airstrike; the system uses tiny charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras integrated into each side of
the keyboard to detect user movements.

CONCLUSION:

 Today’s thoughts are again around user interface. Efforts are being put to better the technology day-in
and day-out. The Touchless 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 and what not??, Our body may be turned in to an input device!
