    The document proposes developing an interactive projected display system for public spaces using a projector, camera, and computer. The system would project an interactive map of a university campus onto a surface. Users could select buildings on the map using hand gestures detected by the camera, bringing up information screens for each building. This would provide an intuitive interface without requiring users to physically touch screens. The system aims to effectively present information in public areas while conserving space and reducing hardware maintenance needs compared to traditional kiosks. Its development would involve programming computer vision algorithms to detect and track hand positions to enable gesture-based interactions with the projected map display.

    Projected Interactive Display for Public Spaces

    1. Introduction

    1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

    The thesis applies a new way to interact with sources of information using an
    interactive projected display. For a long time the ubiquitous mouse and keyboard has
    been used to control a graphical display. Recently advances and research in human
    computer interaction (HCI) has paved the way for techniques such as vision, sound,
    speech recognition, and context-aware devices that allow for a much richer, multimodal
    interaction between man and machine.

    In the past decades, with the advent of increased processing power and technology,
    there has been great interest from the academic and commercial sector in developing new
    and innovative human computer interfaces. Some of the available devices have developed
    into track-ball, electronic pens, cyber-gloves, 3D-mice and magnetic tracking devices to
    name a few. Recent research moves away from traditional input devices. PUI or
    Perceptual User Interfaces and VBI or Vision Based Interfaces are examples of recent
    research areas. (Turk, 1998 & Porta, 2002). What is interesting in this line of research is
    the development of natural and intuitive interface methods that make use of human body.
    A certain class of this research falls under bare hand human-computer interaction which
    this study is about. Bare hand human interaction uses as a basis of input the human hands
    without the use of devices in contact with the human body.

    1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

    Information-rich interactive viewing modules are usually implemented as


    computer based kiosks. However placing computer peripherals such as touch-screens and
    mouse and keyboard controlled computers in a public area would require significant
    space and have maintenance concerns on the physical hardware being used by the
    common public. Using a projected display and a camera based input device, would
    eliminate the hardware problems associated with the space and maintenance. It also
    attracts people since projected displays are new and novel.

    1.3 OBJECTIVES

    1.3.1 General Objectives

    • The general objective of the thesis is to create an interactive projected display


    system.
    1.3.2 Specific Objectives

    • To use projector for the display


    • To use a PC camera as the basis of user input
    • To use a PC to implement algorithms to detect user inputs from the camera
    • To use a PC to source the information-rich content
    • To create an interactive DLSU campus map as a demo application

    1.4 SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

    The proponents will create a real time interactive projected display using a
    projector and camera. The proponents will use development tools for image/video
    processing and computer vision to program the PC. Algorithms for hand detection and
    tracking will be implemented using these tools.
    The projector and camera set-up will be fixed in such a way that blocking the
    projector is not a problem. Trapezoidal distortion which results from projecting from an
    angle will be manually compensated if present. Since the system is dependent on the
    camera and projection, the lighting conditions will be controlled. The set-up area must
    not have too much light as to overpower the projection.

    1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

    The study applies a new way of presenting information using projected displays
    and allows the user to interact with it. A projected display conserves space as the system
    is ceiling mounted and there is no hardware that directly involves the user. Using only the
    hands of the user as an input, the system is intuitive and natural-- key criteria for effective
    interfaces. It presents an alternative to computer based modules where space can be a
    problem.

    Currently there is a high cost of acquiring and maintaining a projector. But it is


    still viable when maintaining an information center is deemed to be important. The
    system can be comparable to large screen displays that are used in malls and such. Since
    the system is also a novel way of presenting information. The system can be used to make
    interactive advertisements that are very attracting to consumers. The display can
    transform from an inviting advertisement into detailed product information. With this
    said, the cost of the operation of the projector can be justified with the revenue generated
    from effective advertising.

    The study is an endeavor towards the development of natural interfaces. The use
    of a Projector and camera provides a means of producing an augmented reality that is
    natural -- Requiring no special goggles or gloves that the user has to wear. In public
    spaces where information is very valuable, a system that can provide an added dimension
    to reality is very advantageous and the use of nothing but the hands means the user can
    instantly tap the content of the projected interface.
    1.6 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

    The system is comprised of 3 main components; (1) the PC which houses the
    information and control content, (2) the projector which displays the information, and (3)
    the PC camera which is the input of the system. Development of the study would be
    heavily invested in the software programming of the PC. The functions of the PC would
    be the following: detection of the position and action of the hands of the user relative to
    the screen, generating a response from a specific action, hosting the information rich
    content. Techniques of image/video processing and machine vision will be used to
    facilitate the first two functions of the PC.
    As a demo application an interactive map of the school is used. The projector will
    project the campus directory of De La Salle University Manila. The camera will capture
    the images needed and will upload to the computer. The user will then pick on which
    building he/she would like to explore using his/her hand as the pointing tool. Once the
    user has chosen a building, a menu will appear that will give information about the
    building. Information includes brief history, floor plans, facilities, faculties, etc. Once the
    user is finished exploring the building, he/she can touch the back button to select another
    building in the campus. The cycle will just continue until the user is satisfied.

    1.7 METHODOLOGY

    Development of the study would be heavily invested in the software programming


    of the PC. We the researchers must spend time in acquiring skills in programming for the
    implementation of the research. Researching a lot about video capture and processing is
    greatly needed for these will affect the purpose of the system. Familiarizing with the
    different programming language and acquiring skill with it is necessary.
    The proponents of the research needs to obtain all the materials that is needed for
    the achievement of the study, materials such as the camera that will capture the input, the
    projector which will give the output display (projected display) and the PC which the
    system will be based. The appropriate specifications of the camera and the projector will
    be carefully looked at to get the precise requirements. After which the system has its
    working prototype, testing and making the necessary adjustments will be needed upon
    detecting problems in the system. The role of the advisers in this case is extremely
    important; they will help/guide the researchers in their own area of expertise so it is a
    reality that the researchers also need consultation and suggestions given by their advisers.
    After the necessary adjustments, complete testing of the system and gathering of
    the data’s and results, the promoters of the idea must give in their conclusions for future
    study and revision of the project, also for future researchers on the topic to have solutions
    in the research limitations.
