Abstract: A method includes pointing an image capture module on a head mounted augmented reality display towards a panel, recognizing fiducial markers on the panel and an interaction area defined by the fiducial markers, recognizing and using a panel identifier to select a graphical user interface, rendering the graphical user interface on the augmented reality display to appear to float in a volume between the head mounted augmented reality display and the interaction area, where at least two of the fiducial markers are configured for defining a position and orientation of the panel with respect to the head mounted augmented reality display, and using the image capture module to recognize a hand, a finger or a predefined detectable object in the volume, where the hand, the finger or the predefined detectable object is directed towards at least one graphical user interface element rendered to appear to float in the volume.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for user interaction. The method includes pointing a first device having a sensor, towards a panel defining a physical area having a plurality of markers rendered thereon, recognizing an interaction area defined by the plurality of markers on the panel, and rendering a plurality of graphical user interface elements on the panel in an Input/Output viewport. The plurality of markers includes at least one of an object and a shape recognizable by suitable computer vision means. Further, the Input/Output viewport includes a spatial volume between the first device and the panel.

Abstract: A system for providing a hand-gesture-based human-to-device interface includes an imaging device configured to record a sequence of still images and a computing device coupled in communication with the imaging device. The computing device includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to analyse the sequence of still images to identify at least one hand gesture made by a user, determine whether or not the at least one hand gesture includes at least one predefined hand gesture, identify an output signal corresponding to the at least one hand gesture, when the at least one hand gesture includes at least one predefined hand gesture, and use the output signal to control a quantity of at least one analogue parameter.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a computing device through hand gestures, using augmented reality. The method includes detecting a toggle gesture. The method further includes analyzing the toggle gesture. The method further includes switching a first interface of the computing device to a second interface based on the analysis of the toggle gesture.

Abstract: An input device includes a transparent display panel configured to display a graphical interface, an input plate disposed above the display panel and composed of a material that transmits the graphical interface and allows infrared light to propagate through the input plate, an infrared-emitting unit disposed in contact with the input plate and configured to emit the infrared light into the input plate via a contact surface of the input plate, and an infrared detection unit disposed below the input plate and configured to detect diffused light of the infrared light which is generated at the input plate when the input plate is touched.
