Interaction with a Projection Screen Using a Camera-tracked Laser Pointer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system for direct interaction with a video projection screen using a laser pointer is presented. The laser point on the screen is captured by a video camera, and its location recognized by image processing techniques. The behavior of the point is translated into signals sent to the mouse input of the computer causing the same reactions as if they came from the mouse. More complex interaction paradigms are composed from the elementary operations ”switch on/off” and pointing of the laser pen.

A Laser Pointer/Laser Trails Tracking System for Visual Performance
Visual performance with a large video projection screen is popular for various entertainment events such as DJ events. Some performers use computers to generate visuals, but using a keyboard or a mouse to control the visuals in front of a large screen is neither exciting nor intuitive for performers and audiences. We developed an interactive display system using camera-tracked laser pointers th...
متن کاملIdentifying Inexpensive Off-the-Shelf Laser Pointers for Multi-User Interaction on Large Scale Displays
We present a method for identifying inexpensive, off-the-shelf laser pointers in a multi-user interaction environment on large-scale displays. We identify a laser pointer’s personality, a measure of its output in a particular context. Our method requires a set of inexpensive and unmodified green lasers, a large screen, a projector, and a camera with an infrared (IR) filter. The camera detects t...
متن کاملLaser Spot Detection
The paper proposes method for detection of laser spot emitted by a laser pointer. A camera captures projection screen on which is displayed image from a digital projector and also laser spot from a laser pointer. Our developed algorithm can effectively detect red and green laser spot in real-time using image processing and by setting up camera to be captured high intensity of laser beam. To dem...

متن کاملAugmenting a Laser Pointer with a Diffraction Grating for Monoscopic 6DOF Detection
This article illustrates the detection of 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) for Virtual Environment interactions using a modified simple laser pointer device and a camera. The laser pointer is combined with a diffraction grating to project a unique laser grid onto the projection planes used in projection-based immersive VR setups. The distortion of the projected grid is used to calculate the translati...
