A Gui for Projector-camera Using Touch Detection

In this paper, we propose a novel interactive projection system (IPS), which enables bare-finger touch interaction on regular planar surfaces (e.g., walls, tables), with only one standard camera and one projector. The challenge of bare-finger touch detection is recovering the touching information just from the 2-D image captured by the camera. In our method, the graphical user interface (GUI) button is projected on the surface and is distorted by the finger when clicking it, and there is a significant positive correlation between the button’s distortion and the finger’s height to the surface. Therefore, we propose a novel, fast, and robust algorithm, which takes advantage of the button’s distortion to detect the touch action. The existing keyboards used keys based keyboard for typing on the computer. These keyboards are working on the mechanical push principle. But for the small devices like mobile phones and tablets it is impossible to carry big keyboard with them. The touch screen based keyboards available in such devices are very inconvenient to write because the size of people finger is big and the size of the keys on the touch screen is small. So typing work on the small devices is not convenient and on computer our fingers get pain after doing long time typing work because of mechanical vibration of the keys.
