Hello All!
I bring a project to help us, one for all, with our touch typing.
What I want is to have the image of our fingers on the keyboard in the very computer’s screen. So we can stop looking down to the keyboard while writing.
As you can see in the images I will install a small webcam atached to my keyboard.
Then this camera will record the keyboard and my fingers, I need to crop the image so I have just the area of the keys.
Secondly on top of the webcam image I will have a panel that matches my keyboard, this panel helps showing the key covered by our fingers and make a feed back of the keys pressed.
I have tested this out with my phone’s camera and the feeling is great.
The camera’s code looks easy, I just used somethig like:
import processing.video.*
Capture cam;
void setup(){
size(640,480);
cam = new Capture(this, 640, 480);
cam.start();
}
I have a camera running, now I need to create a rectangular cursor that crops the image, pehaps some rotation too, with scale().
I need as well to configure the key’s panel, transparent, that reacts to the keys pressed. I don’t know how to aproach this
I’d love to hear about your way to aproach this, and I’d love even more to help someonewith their touch typing.
Thanks
