Tangible Object Recognition: Joystick
Tangible Object Recognition: Joystick
Most joysticks used with touchscreens are virtual and cannot provide reliable movement without looking at the joystick directly. Our project provides a way to use touchscreen controls without the need for vision. We have created a physical joystick to be placed on a touchscreen surface, combined with software to recognize the joystick's location and tilt. With no battery or plug required, this project has potential for use with medical instruments, drones, and other joystick-controlled devices.
