An input cueing system and method that allows a user to manually draw an image, input text, interface and gesture on an input surface, which is then brought into a computer such that the visual output from the computer is combined in an overlapping manner with the visual imagery of the user's hands, and then shown on a display. Located above the drawing surface is an image capturing device that captures live video images of the user's hands or other objects placed on the drawing surface. One or more reflectors and/or image repeating devices are disposed between the input surface and the image capturing device to effectively reduce the height and/or focal length so that the visual image is properly aligned and oriented to provide a real ‘live’ view of the users hands and/or action on the display. A combiner module combine the visual action on and/or about the input surface with the visual output from a computer or computing device, so that the resulting combined visual imagery may be simultaneously transmitted and on a display, with the users hands, fingers and/or tools shown in a semi-transparent and/or opaque manner.
An input cueing system for simultaneously viewing in real time the image of a user's hands or fingers positioned over the input device that overlays a virtual input image, the system comprising:
