Interactive Touch Control Floor

With the advent of new gadgets and computers perspective use touch control staet increasingly apparent. At the same time, the common approach to implementing this technology in touch screens has its limitations: the distance between the user and the device can not be greater than the length of his outstretched hands. In turn, this means that the size of the display also can not go beyond certain limits, therefore, the number of objects displayed on it has its limits.
Trying to transfer sensor control on a large surface area, researchers from Potsdam, led by Professor Patrick Baudisch (Patrick Baudisch), invented an interactive floor. Perhaps, when using this management tool users have the feeling that he was walking on a giant screen iPhone or iPad.
Interface elements, which is proposed to manage, mostly legs, formed by back projection. As modern touch screens, interactive floor supports multitouch. Gadgets can "learn" a specific pattern of sole, which allows it to respond to the commands of active users and do not respond to the actions of strangers.
A large area of contact surfaces gave developers the ability to assign different commands to different parts of the sole. For example, moving the weight on one or another part of the foot, you can specify the nature of motion or action objects are displayed. Another advantage of large format is the high accuracy of control: setting the cursor function of a single point on the sole can not only activate the application or print, but it is to work successfully with graphical editors.
