Advanced paper document in a projection display

Abstract

Though computing environments are developed very rapidly, people use paper documents as ever. In this paper, we propose the Advanced Paper Document (APD), which expands the function of paper documents, based on the Augmented Desk system. To incorporate physical paper documents with digital documents in a projection display system without being required to use additional sensors, we use a gesture recognition method. The APD has advantages of paper and digital documents, and provides a user with a natural and intuitive environment. As shown by experimental results, the proposed the APD is applicable to provide an interactive computing environment. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
