The idea of controlling a computer or application by means other than the keyboard and mouse has long been investigated and implemented in a variety of different ways by many companies and research groups, as technology has improved devices such as the Kinect or PlayStation Move have become commercially available and widely used in a recreational capacity to the point where Microsoft have announced the new generation of Xbox will require a Kinect to function. This leap in touchless technology from both a technological and user based point of view has presented exciting opportunities to create alternatives to the standard keyboard and mouse control methods. This forms the basis of this group project, our goal is to investigate current technology related to the field of haptics, to research the various advantages and constraints of this type of hardware and finally design a system which functions as an alternative to the keyboard and mouse.
