Smart Touch Computers - A Novel Idea
Keywords:
Computing;, keyboard, projector, hemisphere, physical mediumAbstract
Trends in computing technology need that the computing devices in future should focus on achieving high performance, higher efficiency and low cost. In order to achieve these performance parameters, we propose a novel idea with a virtual display which does not require any physical object for displaying, it uses air as a medium and projects on the air Instead of using alphanumeric keyboard, a motion sensor is used instead of a keyboard. When the motion sensor is on it generates a hemisphere of 1m around it, having two regions touch region and active region. When the finger touches the layer, the touched area will have change in voltage, this change is sent to the controller, the installed software in the controller converters the change in voltage to an understandable language to perform the required operation. This will be displayed on the projector, the projector uses air as medium for displaying instead of using some physical medium.
