Abstract
An interaction module includes a housing for holding a projector to project an image onto a working surface and an optical scanning device for scanning a gesture in the region of the image, and a mounting plate configured for fastening to an underside of an object attached above the working surface. The mounting plate is configured for attachment of the housing on a side of the mounting plate which side faces away from the object.
Claims16
An interaction module, comprising:
- a housing holding a projector configured to project an image onto a working surface and an optical scanning device configured to scan a gesture in a region of the image;
- and
- a mounting plate fastenable to an object disposed opposite the working surface, wherein the mounting plate is configured to receive the housing on a side of the mounting plate which faces away from the object;
- wherein the mounting plate comprises an aperture and a vertical tab adjacent the aperture, the tab being configured to engage with a movable latch of the housing to prevent inadvertent release of the housing from the mounting plate;
- and
- wherein the aperture of the mounting plate is disposed directly above the movable latch, such that the aperture, the latch, and a socket of the proiector are in line with each other, and such that a power cord received by the aperture passes directly in front of the latch and blocks access to the latch when coupled to the socket of the proiector.

- and
- a mounting plate fastenable to an object disposed opposite the working surface, wherein the mounting plate is configured to receive the housing on a side of the mounting plate which faces away from the object, the housing being selectively coupled to the mounting plate by a movable latch;
- wherein the mounting plate comprises an aperture and a vertical tab adjacent the aperture, the tab being configured to engage with the movable latch to prevent inadvertent release of the housing from the mounting plate;
- and
- wherein the aperture is configured to be aligned with the latch and a socket of the projector when the tab and the latch are engaged, such that a power cord passing through the aperture blocks access to the latch when coupled to the socket of the projector.
