 INTRODUCTION

• Touch screen displays are ubiquitous world wide

• Frequent touching a touch screen display can ultimately lead to failure of the touch
screen
• To avoid this a simple user interface for Touch less control of electrically operated
equipment is being developed.

• It is developed by Elliptic Lab

 WHAT IS TOUCH SCREEN?

 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.

 The touch-screen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, rather
than using a mouse , touchpad, or any other intermediate device
 TOUCH 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 consists of three infrared lasers that scan a surface.

TOUCH WALL
 TOUCH LESS UI

 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

TOUCH LESS TOUCH SCREEN

The Touch less technology are being used in many forms in many different places.

TOUCH LESS MONITOR

• 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
 WORKING

• 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 device is based on optical pattern recognition using a solid state optical matrix
sensor with a lens to detect hand motions
Contd..

• This sensor is then connected to a digital image processor, which interprets the
patterns of motion and outputs the results as signals to control fixtures, appliances,
machinery, or any device controllable through electrical signals.

• You just point at the screen (from as far as 5 feet away), and you can manipulate
objects in 3D.
 TOUCH-LESS -> GLIMPSE OF GBUI

• We have seen the futuristic user interfaces of movies like Minority Report and the
Matrix Revolutions where people wave their hand in 3 dimensions and the
computer understands what the user wants and shifts and sorts data with precision.

• Microsoft’s XD Huang demonstrated how his company sees the future of the GUI
at ITEXPO.
 MINORITY REPORT
INSPIRED TOUCH LESS TECHNOLOGY

• 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

Eye Sight is a gesture technology 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 track pad or mouse.

6. Point Grab

Point Grab is something similar to eye Sight, 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.
 TOUCH-LESS SDK

• The Touch less SDK is an open source SDK for .NET applications.

• It enables developers to create multi-touch based applications using a webcam for

input.
 TOUCH-LESS DEMO

• 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

 ADVANTAGES

• Easier and satisfactory experience

• Touch less Screen

• Controlling objects

• Gesturing and cursor positioning

• No drivers required
 CONCLUSION

• 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!
