Abstract: An interactive display, including a cover glass having a front surface that includes a viewing area provides an input/output (I/O) interface for a user of an electronic device. An arrangement includes a processor, a light source, and a camera disposed outside the periphery of the viewing area coplanar with or behind the cover glass. The camera receives scattered light resulting from interaction, with an object, of light outputted from the interactive display, the outputted light being received by the cover glass from the object and directed toward the camera. The processor determines, from image data output by the camera, an azimuthal angle of the object with respect to an optical axis of the camera and/or a distance of the object from the camera.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for a touch sensitive display device providing editable handwriting capture are described. A display device with a detachable front panel is capable of interactive touch sensing and editable handwriting capture. An ultraviolet or near ultraviolet light source and camera can be configured to capture images of textual input made on the detachable front panel of the device with a pen having water soluble fluorescent ink that is transparent or nontransparent such that the notes are visible under ultraviolet or near ultraviolet light and transparent when little or no ultraviolet or near ultraviolet light is present. The detachable front panel may be removed from the display device for cleaning and ease of use.

Abstract: Systems and apparatus for a touch sensitive display device are disclosed. The display device may include a detachable transparent front panel which overlays a display panel. The detachable transparent front panel may be held against the display panel and a plurality of pressure sensors by a series of magnets. This allows the front panel to act as an interactive touch display system. By having a detachable transparent front panel, the touch sensitive display device may be placed in messy environments, such as a kitchen. A user can then remove and wash the detachable transparent front panel without harming any electronic components.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for a touch sensitive display device providing infrared gesture capture and recognition are described. A display device with a detachable front panel is capable of interactive touch sensing and infrared gesture capture and processing. An infrared light source and infrared camera can be configured to capture images of complex multi-touch gestures made on the detachable front panel of the device. The detachable front panel may be removed from the display device for cleaning and ease of use.
