.:BEYOND:.: Future Input Devices

Hai everybody!

FIRSTLY,do you want to know more about the future input devices? Lets Check it out!

Do you imagine that our SKIN can be input devices in the future? it is certainly no longer plausible right?

Chris Harrison and a team of researchers are showing off a method of ”Using your Arm, Hand and Skin as an input device“.Its sounds weird right? but, it can be reality in our life someday..who's knows?

Skin Input-Hand Input

Skin Input-Arm Input

For your information,they have been able to workout a technique that detects where the tap touches and use that to control phones and music players and computers. As a result, An arm band worn by the user picks up acoustic signatures created by tapping on your arm with the other hand, or taping your fingers and thumb together on the same hand. They’re achieving accuracies in the 82-97% range but it gets even better.

...

As a conclusion,

“The human body is the ultimate input device,” said Chris Harrison...

The usage of this technology human being will start to step in the era of robotic life style.

SECOND, the second input devices is mouse..In the future, it will be mouseless.....Believe it or not??

"MOUSELESS"= Without MOUSE


Mouseless

Mouse Evolution

But this could all change in the Future. The innovator Pranav Mistry comes with yet another

proof concept of computer input that could change the way we communicate with our PCs. The Mouseless invention removes the requirement of having a physical mouse altogether but still provides the intuitive interaction of a physical mouse that we are familiar with.

As Pranav Mistry said,

Mouseless consists of an Infrared (IR) laser beam (with line cap) and an Infrared camera. Both IR laser and IR camera are embedded in the computer. The laser beam module is modified with a line cap and placed such that it creates a plane of IR laser just above the surface the computer sits on.

The user cups their hand, as if a physical mouse was present underneath, and the laser beam lights up the hand which is in contact with the surface. The IR camera detects those bright IR blobs using computer vision.

The change in the position and arrangements of these blobs are interpreted as mouse cursor movement and mouse clicks. As the user moves their hand the cursor on screen moves accordingly. When the user taps their index finger, the size of the blob changes and the camera recognizes the intended mouse click.
