What is object recognition?
Object recognition is a process for identifying a specific object using algorithms which rely on pattern recognition software to recognize pre-programmed "objects". In combination with multi-touch sensors, object recognition offers a new and improved way to get in touch with the user and offers an even more immersive experience in high-end applications by making it available on much larger screens.
In many commercial applications, object recognition is achieved using a system of cameras to detect shapes and correctly decipher the information. Up to now, object recognition with touchscreen technology has been extremely difficult because the two technologies were not particularly compatible. With its MPCT™ technology, Zytronic has developed a camera-free object recognition function that is fully compatible with projective capacitive touch technology.
