Paper Abstract:
|
Recent technology trends have led to a need for advanced HCI to provide a user with convenient input solution in the form of keyboard that would not require any desk space, be wireless and able to disappear when not in use. The aim of the paper is to present an easy way to improvise virtual keyboard that will require no hardware support besides the web camera attached to personal computer (PC) leveraging the method of Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Piece of paper with handwritten characters can be turned into virtual keyboard when webcam attached to the PC tracks finger movements and translate them into keystrokes in a device applying the OCR method. Touching handwritten characters on a white surface (paper) generates a unique electronic signal corresponding to the character that was touched. The implemented system proves valuable, but further research will be required to validate the findings of this study and to address identified drawbacks. |
