For example, it is possible to trace a document on a table with your finger and capture it as electronic data, or to display information on a touched object with a projector.
This system doesn’t use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology,” explains Taichi Murase, a researcher at Fujitsu’s Media Service System Lab.
