A Multi-touch Surface Using Multiple Cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this project we present a framework for a multi-touch surface using multiple cameras. With an overhead camera and side-mounted camera we determine the three dimensional coordinates of the fingertips and detect touch events. We interpret these events as hand gestures which can be generalized into commands for manipulating applications. We offer an example application of a multi-touch finger painting program.

DeskTop: A Design Guideline to Creating a Multi-touch Desk Prototype
In many multi-touch tables, a projector is used to project an image onto the surface and a camera is used to detect user touches. The optical paths for both the camera and projector limits the physical design of multi-touch tables. Our research focuses on the creation of a multi-touch desk that improves on the physical design of past multi-touch tables by using a combination of multiple cameras...
متن کاملOptical Touch Sensing on Nonparametric Rear-Projection Surfaces for Interactive Physical-Virtual Experiences
We demonstrate a generalizable method for unified multitouch detection and response on various nonparametric and parametric surfaces to support interactive physical–virtual experiences. The method employs multiple infrared (IR) cameras, one or more projectors, IR light sources, and a rear-projection surface. IR light reflected off human fingers is captured by cameras with matched IR pass filter...
متن کاملMirrorTrack – A Vision Based Multi-Touch System for Glossy Display Surfaces
This paper presents a multi-touch system using vision-based algorithms that takes advantage of specular surfaces to detect and track finger locations with multiple cameras. The key innovation of the MirrorTrack approach is that by mounting cameras at a low azimuth to the horizontal display surface, the screen approaches a perfect mirror. Hence, we are able to track the user’s fingers together w...
متن کاملThe Interactive Spatial Surface - Blended Interaction on a Stereoscopic Multi-Touch Surface
Current touch technology provides precise and accurate large multi-touch surfaces, which allow multiple users to collaborate in these two-dimensional setups. Furthermore, recent developments in the field of display technology support visualization of three-dimensional (3D) virtual environments (VEs) in high-fidelity visual detail on these surfaces. Finally, cost-efficient depth cameras such as ...
متن کاملCombining Virtual Environments and Direct Manipulation for Architectural Modeling
In this paper we present an environment for conceptual design which mimics the interaction of designers with physical mockups. We present novel three dimensional on-and-above-the-surface interactive techniques which combine asymmetric bimanual operations with multi-touch direct manipulation on a flat surface and depth cameras. These take advantage of a continuous interaction space to create and...
