The recognition of objects on large-scale touch screens utilizes the well-known principle of the cashier barcode scanning system and takes it to a new level: objects which are equipped with a special marker chip or printed code can be detected and processed from Multitouch displays in real-time.
Complement your touch screens and interactive systems by adding premium object recognition technology - no need for expensive additional hardware, simply add our software plugin. Standardized marker objects as well as custom designs can be acquired on request.

eyefactive cooperates successfully with the following partners in the fields of hardware and software:
So-called marker objects (markers) simulate a steady pattern consisting out of 3-4 touch points, which will be automatically learned and saved by our algorithm. Every fingerprint-like pattern is allocated an unique identification number, which can be used for different actions within the software.
On interactive systems with optical camera tracking specific codes can be used. These codes similar to QR codes with a black and white pattern can be printed on any material. Advantage: unlimited identification numbers (IDs).

There are many different designations of interactive objects for touch screens, e.g. markers, marker objects, fiducials or "tangible objects". They all denominate physical auxiliaries different in shape and size, we call them markers. They can be recognized by the touch screen. Various technologies exist on the market: Some markers use optical recognition and can simply be printed similar to QR codes. Others use an integrated specific technology or mechanism and are generally a bit bigger in size. The markers are mounted or glued for instance to the actual object as an auxiliary.
TUIO is an open-source framework and defines a data transfer protocol for interactive multitouch systems and applications.
You can buy or rent multitouch object recognition / detection technologies as well as tangible objects and markers for permanent installations or temporary trade shows.
