ABSTRACT
In this paper we try to realize a system that enables users to interact with surrounding surfaces using touch interactions. For this purpose, we propose new touch detection technique which utilizes the shadows of a finger, and developed a prototype system with an infrared (IR) camera and two IR lights. Since the shapes of a finger's shadows vary drastically depending on the distance between the surface and finger, our prototype system can detect touch. To improve the accuracy of the estimated touch position, we also introduce multiple regression analysis into the estimation algorithm of the touch position. We conducted two experiments on the accuracy of estimated touch position, and the results shows that the target accuracy was within an error of less than 5 mm.

A study on touch & hover based interaction for zooming
CHI EA '12: CHI '12 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsProximity is a useful medium for interaction with high interactive digital contents. It can be used in different contexts such as for navigation through depth in 3D space in zoomable interfaces. In this paper, we propose hover-based zoom interaction as ...
Understanding performance in touch selections: Tap, drag and radial pointing drag with finger, stylus and mouse
Touch-based interaction with computing devices is becoming more and more common. In order to design for this setting, it is critical to understand the basic human factors of touch interactions such as tapping and dragging; however, there is relatively ...
Touch+Finger: Extending Touch-based User Interface Capabilities with "Idle" Finger Gestures in the Air
UIST '18: Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyIn this paper, we present Touch+Finger, a new interaction technique that augments touch input with multi-finger gestures for rich and expressive interaction. The main idea is that while one finger is engaged in a touch event, a user can leverage the ...
