Abstract:
Sensor-based pairing technology between digital objects for interactions is used widely (e.g., smart phone to Bluetooth headset). In addition, research about tangible interactions between daily normal analog objects (e.g., a doll, Lego block) and digital objects has progressed and is also popular. However, such research can only involve interactions with already setup objects. They have to attach sensors to objects for interaction. The paired objects cannot be changed dynamically. In addition, it is difficult to make interactions with various objects simultaneously. The objects with attached sensor(s) for tangible interaction can recognize the touched area of the objects, but cannot recognize touch gesture with a lot of movements. In this paper, we propose a new analog-digital object pairing method and touch recognition technique by intuitive touch interactions using three-dimensional point cloud data. Several touch pairing and touch recognition methods are described in detail. The paired objects are changed dynamically using the proposed method. In addition, tangible interactions between two objects are described after pairing. Finally, we demonstrate the high recognition rate of the proposed method using experiments and describe our system's contribution.
