Finger Tracking



Uploaded by: xwcg
Video Description:
A small demonstration video of how my homebrew finger tracking system works. Works only horizontally as I only have one cam right now. As soon as I will get a second cam so look from the side, i will work on getting it working in all directions.
For details on how this is working exactly, wait for the next video where I will explain it "in a nutshell". In finished state, this program wil serve to emulate touch screen.

To make it it shouldnt be that hard now, just copy the code, so the person chooses the 2nd camera and the second isntead of tracking on X axis you just change to the Y axis...

the program would be needed itself, but I think that I will publish it for free - and of course 2 webcams, which should be around 15 $ each. So Count with around 30$ investment for this.

that's quite impressive and state-of-the-art. to my idea, i think it's first of a kind that uses motion in controlling the computer screen. but it sure will cause soreness in the arms and elbows...and i think that's the major reason why not people will adapt it? (lagging won't be a problem, you can speed it up in thre)...but if u will consider a long-range motion sensor camera, so that the people will just sit back and point, instead of leanng forward, then i think it will be a major hit.

infact, you can put it anywhere you want to. I just put the webcam near the screen for simulating a touch screen effect, but depending on where you rig up the webcams, you can archieve different effects; e.g. like in Majority report - or like your idea to make it kind of long-rang and sit back comfortably, it's all up to the end user

This is a decent implementation and you're right, the main problem with an interface that uses pointing with your finger (and there are systems out there that exist that already use this technology) is that your arm gets sore. Not only that, pointing is probably one of the most awkward ways of controlling a mouse pointer.
