 TOUCH-LESS TOUCH SCREEN USER INTERFACE

ABSTRACT
 TOUCH-LESS TOUCH SCREEN USER INTERFACE
It was the touch screens which initially
created great furore.Gone are the days when
you have to fiddle with the touch screens
and end scratching up. Touch screen
displays are ubiquitous worldwide.Frequent
touching a touchscreen display with a
pointing device such as a finger can result
in the gradual de-sensitization of the
touchscreen to input and can ultimately lead
to failure of the touchscreen. To avoid this a
simple user interface for Touchless control
of electrically operated equipment is being
developed. EllipticLabs innovative
technology lets you control your gadgets
like Computers, MP3 players or mobile
phones without touching them. A simple
user interface for Touchless control of

electrically operated equipment. Unlike
other systems which depend on distance to
the sensor or sensor selection this system
depends on hand and or finger motions, a
hand wave in a certain direction, or a flick
of the hand in one area, or holding the hand
in one area or pointing with one finger for
example. The device is based on optical
pattern recognition using a solid state
optical matrix sensor with a lens to detect
hand motions. 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.
