    INTRODUCTION

    Touch screen displays are ubiquitous world wide

    Frequent touching a touch screen display can


    ultimately lead to failure of the touch screen

    To avoid this a simple user interface for Touch less


    control of electrically operated equipment is being
    developed.

    It is developed by Elliptic Lab

    This system depends on hand and or finger motions

    WHAT IS TOUCH SCREEN ?

    A touch-screen is an electronic visual display that the


    user can control through simple or multi-touch gestures
    by touching the screen with a special stylus/pen and-or
    one or more fingers.

    The touch-screen enables the user to interact directly


    with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse ,
    touchpad, or any other intermediate device

    5 TYPES OF TOUCHSCREEN TECHNOLOGY

    Resistive Touch

    Surface capacitive

    Projected capacitive

    Saw Touch

    Infrared Touch

    RESISTIVE TOUCH

    A resistive touch screen monitor is composed of a glass


    panel and a film screen, each covered with a thin
    metallic layer, separated by a narrow gap

    When a user touches the screen, the two metallic


    layers make contact, resulting in electrical flow

    SURFACE CAPACITIVE

    Surface capacitive touch screen monitor, a transparent


    electrode layer is placed on top of a glass panel, and
    covered by a protective cover

    When an exposed finger touches the monitor screen, it


    reacts to the static electrical capacity of the human
    body; some of the electrical charge transfers from the
    screen to the user.

    PROJECTED CAPACITIVE
    A projected capacitive is composed of a sheet of glass
    with embedded transparent electrode films and an IC
    chip, which creates a three dimensional electrostatic
    field.
    When a finger comes into contact with the screen, the
    ratios of the electrical currents change and the
    computer is able to detect the touch points.

    SAW TOUCH

    SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) touch screen monitors


    utilize a series of piezoelectric transducers and
    receivers along the sides of the monitors glass plate to
    create an invisible grid of ultrasonic waves on the
    surface

    INFRARED TOUCH

    Infrared touch screen monitors do not overlay the


    display with an additional screen or screen sandwich.

    Ensures best possible image quality

    When an object interrupts the invisible infrared light


    beam, the sensors are able to locate the touch point

    TOUCHLESS TOUCHSCREEN USER INTERFACE

    A simple user interface for Touchless control of


    electrically operated equipment is being developed by

    Elliptic Labs

    This technology lets you control our gadgets like


    Computers, MP3 players or mobile phones without
    touching them.

    This unique screen is made by TouchKo, White


    Electronics Designs, and Groupe 3D.

    It works by detecting your hand movements in front


    of it.
    This system depends on hand and or finger motions, a
    hand wave in a certain direction
    The sensor can be placed either on the screen or near
    the screen

    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

    Outputs results as signals to control fixtures,


    appliances, machinery, or any device controllable
    through electrical signals

    WORKING

    Requires a sensor but the sensor is neither hand


    mounted nor present on the screen

    The sensor can be placed either on the table or near


    the screen.

    The sensor can recognize the position of an object


    from as 5 feet

    System is capable of detecting movements in 3D


    without ever having to put your fingers on the screen

    TOUCH SENSOR

    Touch sensor is a clear glass panel with a touch


    responsive area.

    It is placed over a display screen

    TOUCH-LESS GBUI

    GBUI means Gesture Based Graphical User Interface

    Allows you to take applications with simple hand


    movements.

    The system would know to post it on an intranet and


    also send a link to a specific group of people.

    APPLICATIONS

    Touch less monitor

    Touch less user interface

    Touch less SDK

    Touch less demo

    Touch wall

    TOUCHLESS MONITOR

    This monitor is made TouchKo

    Our hand doesnt have to come in contact with the


    screen at all, it works by detecting your hand
    movements in front of it.

    Point your finger in the air towards the device and move
    it accordingly to control the navigation in the device

    Designed for applications where touch may be difficult,


    such as for doctors who might be wearing surgical
    gloves

    Fig: TOUCHLESS MONITOR

    TOUCH LESS USER INTERFACE


    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.

    Just point at the screen (from as far as 5 feet


    away),and you can manipulate objects in 3D.

    Gestures are translated into screen commands

    SCREEN COMMANDS

    TOUCH LESS SDK

    The Touchless SDK is an open source SDK for .NET


    applications

    Multi-touch based applications using a webcam for


    input

    Touchless SDK enables touch without touching

    Color based markers defined by the user are tracked


    and their information is published through events to
    clients of the SDK.

    Fig: Touch-less SDK

    TOUCH LESS DEMO

    It is an open source application that anyone with a


    webcam can use to experience multi-touch

    The demo was created using the touch-less SDK and


    windows forms with C#

    4 fun demos are:


    -> Snake
    -> Defender
    -> Map
    -> Draw

    Fig: Touchless Demo

    TOUCH WALL

    It is the first multi-touch product

    It refers to the touch screen hardware setup itself and


    software is plex

    Touch Wall consists of three infrared lasers that scan a


    surface.

    By using a projector entire walls can easily be turned


    into a multi touch user interface.

    PLEX

    It is a media player system and software suite


    consisting of many player applications for 10-foot user
    interfaces and an associated media server that
    organizes personal media stored on local devices

    Plex organizes video, music and photos from personal


    media libraries and streams them to smart TVs,
    streaming boxes and mobile devices

    Fig: Touch wall

    WHATS NEXT???

    You can drag windows around or close them, for


    instance, by pointing and gesturing in midair above
    the keyboard. You should be able to buy an Airstrikeequipped laptop next year, with high-end stand-alone
    keyboards to follow.

    Any such system is unlikely to replace typing and


    mousing. But that's not the point. Airstrike aims to
    give you an occasional quick break from those
    activities.

    CONCLUSION

    Todays thoughts are again around user interface. Efforts


    are being put to better the technology day-in and day-out.

    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 and
    what not??,

    Our body may be turned in to an input device!
