Visual Screen uses an inexpensive technique to transform an ordinary screen into a touch screen[1] using an ordinary camera[2]. The system can fullfill many tasks such as controlling a remote large display, and simulating a physical keyboard[4]. Users can naturally use their fingers or other tip pointers to issue commands and type texts. In many intelligent environments, instead of using conventional mice[3], keyboards[4] and joysticks[5], people are looking for an intuitive, immersive and cost-efficient interaction device. We describe two vision-based interface systems[10]. The first, Visual Screen, uses an inexpensive technique to transform an ordinary screen into a touch screen[1] using an ordinary camera[2], and a user can use his/her finger to interact with the computer. Touch screens[1] are very convenient because one can directly point to where it is interesting. No conventional mice[3] are needed.
