L3PT Large Portable Projected Peripheral Touchscreen Team Jackson Brian Gosselin Greg Langlois Nick Jacek Dmitry Kovalenkov Preliminary Design Review
Tablet PCs • Single user • Small workspace • 10’’ diagonal screen • Stand alone device • Portable • Multi touch capabilities • Price $500-$1000
Smartboard • Large workspace • Single / Multi user • Multi touch capabilities • Not portable • Expensive, > $1,000
Light Blue Optics: Light Touch • Small interactive screen • 10.1’’ diagonal • Projected on flat surfaces • Multi touch capabilities • Stand alone device • Portable • Not commercially available
Desired Specifications • Affordable • Portable • Large workspace • Single / Multi user • Multi touch capabilities None of these devices meet all of the above specifications.
Engineering solution.. L3PT ! • Affordable • Portable • Large interactive screen • Projected on flat surfaces • Goal 30-40’’ diagonal screen • Single / Multi user • Multi touch capabilities • Windows 7 peripheral
Engineering solution.. L3PT ! Projector IR Camera Projected Interactive Screen USB Connection Microprocessor (Image Processing)
Block Diagram Computer Projector Multi touch driver IR camera Microprocessor Image processing IR emitted light
FAVI Mini Pocket Projector (E1-LED-PICO) • Resolution 640x480 • USB connection • 4.5’’ x 2.4’’ x 1’’ • Weight: 4 ounces(w/o batteries) • Displays up to 80’’ • Price $200
Camera with IR Filter • Resolution 1300x1040 • I2C interface • Change color filter to IR filter
Microprocessor • ATmega328P • Using Arduino for prototyping code • PDIP28 package with boot loader • Tasks: • Camera interaction • Image processing
Detection Methods (Option 1) • Layer of IR light • Object that breaks the plane reflects light • Self contained • Possible shadowing IR light
Detection Methods (Option 2) • Pens with IR LEDs • Switch turns on LED • Reduced shadowing • LED placement? • Still portable?
Image Processing • Brightest areas = touches • Scale touch locations to PC coordinates • Send coordinates to computer
Windows 7 Driver • Setup calibration • Multi touch interface • Send touch coordinates to OS
Individual Roles • Brian • Team Lead / Webmaster • Physical assembly • USB communication • Dmitry • Camera / IR filtering • Integration of parts • Nick • Driver package • Integrating multi-touch • Greg • Image processing • Position detection
Potential Challenges • Shadowing • Delay • Position of projector and camera • Alignment (Projector vs. camera) • Choice of detection method
MDR • Choose detection method • Position of projector and camera • Use camera to detect infrared light • Extract coordinates of touch locations
Conclusion L3PT • Interactive product (Good for demo) • Mix of software and hardware • Single / Multi user • Multi touch capabilities • Feasible for SDP cost and time constraints
