Touchless Systems

Touchless interaction has been widely studied over the last decade, and it turns out to be a very promising solution for human-machine interaction. It can be used in a very large number of application fields, as a unique interaction paradigm, or even in addition to others (multimodal interaction).

The touchless interaction makes access to information more effective than the touch-based one, and in some cases, it enables the deployment of solutions otherwise impossible. It is also very useful for augmented accessibility to disabled people, allowing for at-a-distance interaction.

Our specialists are part of the research community who deals with the most common issues, thus being able to design solutions suitably tailored to be effectively deployed in every environment or context.

Touchless vs. Touch

Touch

'Artificial' naturalness, mainly due to previous experiences
- Long learning curve
Need for SW/HW handles at the users' side (physical devices or app)
Physical limitations
- Functionalities
- Usability
- Safety (of users) and security (of systems)
Hygiene
- There's always something to touch!

Touchless

'Real' naturalness, as it “replays” the inter-human interaction
- Fast learning, easy to guess
No specific SW/HW needed (users’ side)
No physical limits
- Fewer usability constraints
- Fewer deployment constraints
- Improved safety
- More opportunities
No hygiene problems
- Sterile and pandemic-friendly

Touchless Systems

Based on touchless interactions
Deployment in crowded environments:
- Multi-user support
Improved security
- Theft, vandalism, etc...
Improved safety
- Hygiene guaranteed
Quick and easy access to information
- No specific devices required
- Easy learning, intuitiveness
