This document discusses touchless touchscreen technology. It describes how touchless touchscreens use optical pattern recognition and a solid state optical matrix sensor connected to a digital image processor to interpret hand motions and gestures in 3D space without physical touch. Examples are given of companies developing this technology and how it could be used for touchless monitors, graphical user interfaces controlled by gestures, and 3D navigation on screens through hand movements alone. Potential applications are in medical settings where gloves are worn or for more intuitive user experiences.
