This projects aim to develop a new paradigm for human touch interface which will be able to convert any ordinary interface into a touch interface using only a computer with the software and cameras. The surface may include object such as tabletops, glass panel or even normal LCD TV. The main motivation for this project is to bring down the cost of having touch interface capability on any object at a much smaller price. For example of a capacitive touchscreen for a 50 inch screen, it will cost at least $10000 easily. For this project, we can bring down the cost by 80-85% easily. By reading this report, the reader will understand what improvements have been done in this project and why this improvements are needed. It also shows how beneficial this upgrades will affect the end users and future developers. The project is divided into 2 phrase. 1st is the planning and analyzing phrase and 2nd is the implementation phrase.
