Interaction using the projector screen and spot-light from a laser pointer: Handling some fundamentals requirements

摘要

This paper presents one of the interaction models between humans and machines using a camera, the projector, and the spot-light from a laser pointer device. A camera was attached on the top of the projector, and the projector directed a direction screen display on the wall, while the user pointed a laser pointer to the desired location on the direction screen display. It is confirmed that this system can handle some distortion conditions of the direction screen display, such as an oblique rectangle, horizontal trapezoid distortion, and vertical trapezoid distortion as well as some surface illuminance − 127, 425, 630, and 1100 lux; and the system is designed to be used for static and moving objects. The coordinates that were obtained from the distorted screen can be used to give commands to a specific machine, robot, and application.
