Single RGB camera turns your palm into a keyboard for mixed reality interaction
(arduino.cc)
Interactions in mixed reality are a challenge. Nobody wants to hold bulky controllers and type by clicking on big virtual keys one at a time. But people also don’t want to carry around dedicated physical keyboard devices just to type every now and then. That’s why a team of computer scientists from China’s Tsinghua University developed interaction technology called Palmpad that enables typing with just a single RGB camera and an Arduino.
