摘要:
A user interface input apparatus and method allows the detection of when and where a user touches a surface of a translucent screen by the processing of imagery generated by a camera that views an opposite surface of the screen. An input device and system includes a translucent screen; an image capture device located for imaging a first side of the screen opposite a second side where user interaction occurs; and an image processor coupled to the output of the image capture device to determine at least one of where and when a person touches an area on the second side of the screen by a change in intensity of light emanating from the touched area relative to a surrounding area.

A positioning system for locating at least one interactive projection unit, and methods for operation thereof is disclosed. The positioning system includes equipment for providing multiple degrees of freedom for locating the at least one projection unit. The at least one projection unit is equipped with various components and capabilities to provide for projection onto surfaces within a variety of settings, and thus provide for display, information, interaction and computing in the variety of settings.

Techniques are disclosed for projecting an image onto a surface suitable for interaction with a user while avoiding user occlusion, and while correcting for distortion due to oblique projection. The displayed image moves to a suitable surface at a suitable size and orientation as a user moves around an environment, resulting in a user-following interface. Surfaces are selected in which the projected interface is not occluded by the user or other objects in the environment. Displayed images may be interactive, and moved into an interaction area on a suitable surface that is convenient for the user. The interaction area may or may not coincide with the display area. Adaptation of the projected interface is allowed so that the content of the display and the style of interaction widgets are modified based on distance from the user and orientation of the user with respect to a projected interface.
摘要:
An exemplary technique for interaction-based computer interfacing comprises determining if an interaction with a visible artifact is a recognized interaction. When the interaction is a recognized interaction, control information is determined that has one of a plurality of types. The control information is determined by using at least the visual artifact and characteristics of the recognized interaction. The control information is mapped to one or more tasks in an application, such that any task that requires control information of a specific type can get the control information from any visual artifact that creates control information of the specific type. The control information is suitable for use by the one or more tasks.
摘要:
Disclosed is a system and method for presenting and browsing information, comprising the steps of classifying the information into a plurality of classes and sub-classes, each class having at least one sub-class; and presenting the plurality of classes of information to a user. The a system and method capable of interactively controlling the presentation of the sub-classes.
