Abstract

In this paper, we develop a touch detection system using the Kinect-projector system. In our system, the touch area is first determined using a user’s assistance with the Kinect provided skeleton data, and the touch is then detected within only the touch area to simplify and speed-up the process. In particular, a precise touch location is found considering the user’s touch behavior and depth characteristics. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can be used for touch sensing on planar walls without requiring any active touch sensors.
