3. Introduction:
• Simple UI for touchless control, EllipticLabs
Innovative technology
• This unique screen is made by TouchKo, White
Electronics Designs, and Groupe 3D.
• The screen resembles the Nintendo Wii without the
Wii Controller.

4. 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.

5. Touch wall:

6. Touchless 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

7. Touch less Touch Screen:
• The Touchless technology are being used in many
forms in many different places.

8. 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.

9. 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.

11. • 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.
ContD…

13. 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.

14. 9 Minority Report
Inspired Touchless 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.

15. • 2. Elliptic Labs
EllipticLabs allows you to operate your computer
without touching it with the Windows 8 Gesture
Suite.

16. • 3. Airwriting
Airwriting is a technology that allows you to
write text messages or compose emails by writing in
the air.

17. • 4. EyeSight
eyeSight is a gesture technology which allows
you to navigate through your devices by just pointing
at it.

18. • 5. Mauz
Mauz is a third party device that turns your iPhone
into a trackpad or mouse.

19. • 6. PointGrab
PointGrab is something similar to eyeSight, in that
it enables users to navigate on their computer just by
pointing at it.

20. • 7. Leap Motion
LeapMotion is a motion sensor device that
recognizes the user’s fingers with its infrared LEDs
and cameras.

21. • 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.

22. • 9. Microsoft Kinect
It detects and recognizes a user’s body movement
and reproduces it within the video game that is being
played.

23. Touch-less 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.

24. 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!

25. Advantages:
• Easier and satisfactory experience
• Touchless Screen
• Controlling objects
• Gesturing and cursor positioning
• No drivers required

26. 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!
