Polokghosh53/Augmented-Reality-Keyboard

In this project, a virtual keyboard is created which is operated by pointing a key on a virtual grid using camera. First a grid is keyboard grid is made. A random is chosen and made into a physical pointer. This is obtained by thresholding. Every time the pointer stays above a key for a given interval, the key is clicked and the input is saved.

PyCharm is used here for efficient programming.

Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Process

• Use https://github.com/Polokghosh53/Augmented-Reality-Keyboard.git to clone the files in your local directory.

• Install the dependencies in PyCharm IDE using the terminal console or command prompt.

• Go to Run>Edit Configurations after selecting or clicking the range_det.py file. After a window opens write --filter HSV --webcam on Parameters and click Apply. This activates the threshold bar window to open up and do the manual adjustment to the color pointer.

• Then, run the range_det.py file and adjust the color pointer and then the value will be saved in a range.pickle file for the color pointer to work on the main file.

• Now, run the AR-Keyboard.py.

NOTE: Works on single finger input during the keyboard input.
