The Mouse of the Future

The iPoint technology enables a futuristic and worldwide unique human-computer interaction only up to now known from science fiction movies like ”Minority Report”. The “multipointing” interaction method allows the user to show the computer what he or she wants. Other input devices are no longer necessary. This interaction concept can easily be implemented in many applications such as interactive POI/POS systems, games, photo viewers and geographic tools like Google Earth.

Multipointing Interaction

Unlike multitouch screens, the iPoint technology detects and tracks up to eight fingers of the users’ hands completely contact-free. At the moment the user is able to rotate, enlarge, drag and drop objects and press buttons by pointing on the display with one or two fingers.

Depending on the use case, several gesture interpretation methods are already applicable and can be adjusted or extended to new gestures and applications. The technologies used in the iPoint Presenter enable “multipointing” by the means of video-based tracking.

The system works pixel precise and jitter free and thus is appropriate as an innovative
mouse replacement.
