A Development of Application Software by using Non-contact Input System

We developed a non-contact typed human interface system which can be realized to operate a conventional personal computer by using user's fingertip and the gesture of a head inclination angles informed through one CCD camera. Furthermore, a user can perform the operation of intuitive modeling by drawing according to show a figure by the user's fingertip, as a user is moving the head. Thus the system can change the angle of a modeling object, where the system works on the OS using a mouse and a keyboard, because the input of the character and clicking are possible. By this system, a new interactive educational software can be applicable to the human interface fields. And the results of this software can be evaluated as an effective learning. Consequently, we confirmed the utility and possibility of this non-contact interface.
