GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The BML100PI module provides a complete, ready-to-use

solution for interactive projection, enabling highly flexible virtual

touchscreens. The generated laser beam creates a focus-free

image on any surface and then scans it line-by-line to detect any

gestures or finger movements. No calibration or adjustment is

required for accurate gesture and touch recognition. The

BML100PI delivers a highly intuitive user experience, as a fully

flexible alternative compared to a static, physical screen.

The module combines all hardware components as well as the

single-/multi-touch algorithms to integrate into customer systems

as a stand-alone or an embedded solution.

The BML100PI can be used to create 'smart shelves' consisting

of several simultaneous projections on the individual shelves in

refrigerator, cupboards, kitchen cabinets or wardrobes. One

module provides touchscreen functionality on up to six surfaces.

With the Interactive Projection Module, every regular shelf can

turn into a personal assistant for the user, enhancing comfort in

people’s daily life.
