Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With an application to a living support robot in mind, we developed an interface that allows access to both PC icons and real objects. We developed a system to point any real object by controlling the direction of a laser pointer mounted on a pan tilt actuator by user’s head movement. In addition, we developed a method of "clicking (3D position measurement)", "dragging and dropping" real objects using a TOF (Time Of Flight) type laser sensor. Finally, we developed a method to improve its visibility by superimposing and displaying artificial markers around the laser spot on the PC screen. As a result of performance evaluation experiments by multiple subjects for the above three methods, the effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed.
