Thin couplers and reflectors for sensing waveguides
An optical touch-sensitive device is able to determine the locations of multiple simultaneous touch events. The optical touch-sensitive device can include an optical waveguide, an emitter, and an emitter coupler. The emitter produces optical beams, and the emitter coupler is on a surface of the waveguide and is configured to direct at least some of the optical beams to propagate via total internal reflection (TIR) through the waveguide as coupled optical beams. Touches on the top surface of the waveguide disturb the coupled optical beams, and the touch-sensitive device determines touch events based on the disturbances.
Electronic apparatus and method for controlling the same
An electronic apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive an eye gaze input based on an eye gaze of a user. In a case where the eye gaze input is received by the reception unit, a control unit performs control to move an indicator to a position based on the eye gaze input if an operation performed on an operation unit satisfies a first condition, not to move the indicator if the operation performed on the operation unit satisfies the first condition but does not satisfy a second condition after moving the indicator to the position based on the eye gaze input, and to move the indicator from the position based on the eye gaze input by a movement amount corresponding to an operation amount if the operation performed on the operation unit satisfies the second condition.
Systems and methods for providing sanitary touch interface experiences
A sanitary method and system of providing touch interface experiences to users of public devices are disclosed. In one aspect, the system and method are configured to deploy a clean, protective barrier across a touchscreen for each user of the public device. The barrier includes a transparent membrane that permits the user to provide touch-based inputs to the touchscreen through the barrier. In cases where the touch interface is generated by a projector, the system and method are configured to deploy a membrane that serves as a disposable screen for the projected interface. Once each user completes their session, the system automatically replaces the used membrane with a fresh membrane, ensuring subsequent users are not exposed to contaminants or residue from previous user sessions.
VERIFICATION OF A USER INPUT OF A USER INTERFACE
In some aspects, a device may cause a light emitter to emit light waves within a light plane that is parallel to a surface of an input component. The device may receive, from a sensor arrangement, a measurement associated with the light waves in the light plane. The measurement may be indicative of an intended input of a user. The device may perform an action that is associated with a user input of the input component based at least in part on the intended input. Numerous other aspects are described.
Image projection device
An image projection device which can correctly discern content of touch operation when a user performs various kinds of touch operation on an image projected on a projection screen is provided. An imaging unit is adjusted to come into focus on the projection screen. An image data extracting unit extracts image data in which a finger or the like exists and in which the finger or the like is brought into focus in image data obtained by the imaging unit. An operation determining unit determines content of operation performed with the finger or the like, on the basis of the image data extracted by the image data extracting unit. An input control unit recognizes content of an input instruction corresponding to the operation performed with the finger or the like, on the basis of data relating to the content of the operation performed with the finger or the like, position data of the finger or the like, and reference data for specifying a position and a size of the image projected on the projection screen, and controls a projection unit in accordance with the recognized content of the input instruction.
