Implementation of spatial touch system using time-of-flight camera

Recently developed time-of-flight principle based depth-sensing video camera technologies provide precise per-pixel range data in addition to color video. Such cameras will find application in robotics and vision-based human computer interaction scenarios such as games and gesture input systems. Time-of-flight principle range cameras are becoming more and more available. They promise to make the 3D reconstruction of scenes easier, avoiding the practical issues resulting from 3D imaging techniques based on triangulation or disparity estimation. A spatial touch system was presented which uses a depth-sensing camera to touch spatial objects and details on its implementation, and how this technology will enable new spatial interactions was speculated.
