A Taiwanese organization has a pair of glasses announced that a heads-up display is to see that the gestures can be controlled. The glasses, called i-Air, used dddr-camera and is compatible with various devices, including pcs and smartphones.
A Taiwanese non-profit organization focused on research and development, the i-Air pair of glasses with a ‘virtual screen’ is announced, writes Computerworld. With the heads-up display, users can virtual keyboards and touch screens operate. The glasses gives a floating screen that allows virtual data, images and devices with finger in the air can be controlled.
The organization behind the technology, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), let me know and that use is made of special glass and the technology in the dddr. The glasses uses a phase – and color-coded lens, that objects 28 to 38cm away can detect. There is only image recorded that the distance of a fingertip is detected. Is that not the case, then it disappears also the heads-up display, so the user can continue to work.
The phase coding of the lens ensures that the distance and depth of the fingertip can be observed, while the coding of the colours is used for the image segmentation: the green light converges at 28cm, the red on 38cm. Anything outside of that area occurs, is ignored. This should be the battery life.
The glasses should be applicable with a range of devices, including pcs, laptops, portable computers and mobile devices. i-Air the hands of the user ‘free’ during the use of such a device. The glasses can also not be used to take pictures. ITRI intends to use the patented technology to license to manufacturers. The company believes that the heads-up display is also useful for medical applications, such as for endoscopies, and in industries in which better work can be done if the hands are free.
