TOUCH-LESS TOUCRECH SEN USER INTERFACE
[attachment=60391]
INTRODUCTION
The touch less touch screen sounds like it would be nice and easy, however after closer examination it looks like it could be quite a workout. This unique screen is made by TouchKo, White Electronics Designs, and Groupe 3D. The screen resembles the Nintedo Wii without the Wii Controller. With the touch-less touch screen your hand doesn’t have to come in contact with the screen at all, it works by detecting your hand movements in front of it. This is a pretty unique and interesting invention, until you break out in a sweat. Now this technology doesn’t compare to the hologram-like IO2 Technologies Heliodisplay M3, but that’s for anyone that has $18,100 lying around.
You probably won’t see this screen in stores any time soon. Everybody loves a touch screen and when you get a gadget with touch screen the experience is really exhilarating. When the I-phone was introduced, everyone felt the same. But gradually, the exhilaration started fading. While using the phone with the finger tip or with the stylus the screen started getting lots of finger prints and scratches. When we use a screen protector; still dirty marks over such beautiful glossy screen is a strict no-no. Same thing happens with I-pod touch. Most of the time we have to wipe the screen to get a better unobtrusive view of the screen Thanks to Elliptic Labs innovative technology that lets you control your gadgets like Computers, MP3 players or mobile phones without touching them. Simply point your finger in the air towards the device and move it accordingly to control the navigation in the device. They term this as “Touch less human/machine user interface for 3D navigation”.
WORKING
The system is capable of detecting movements in 3-dimensions without ever having to put your fingers on the screen. Their patented touch less interface doesn’t require that you wear any special sensors on your hand either. You just point at the screen (from as far as 5 feet away), and you can manipulate objects in 3D.
TOUCH-LESS GIVES GLIMPSE OF GUI
We have seen the futuristic user interfaces of movies like Minority Report and the Matrix Revolutions where people wave their hands 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 this past September in fact. But at the show, the example was in 2 dimensions.
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. 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 Touch-less SDK enables touch without touching. Well, Microsoft Office Labs has just released “Touch-less,” a webcam-driven multi-touch interface SDK that enables “touch without touching.”
