Abstract
An example computing system may include a display and an input device. The input device may include a touch sensor to provide touch data, and a contactless sensor to provide contactless data. A field of view of the contactless sensor is directed away from the touch sensor. A controller is to combine the touch data and the contactless data into combined data to generate a virtual hand to be displayed on the display. The virtual hand is to include an unsensed feature.
Claims15
A computing system comprising:
- a display;
- an input device including at least one touch sensor to provide touch data, and at least one contactless sensor to provide contactless data, wherein a field of view of the at least one contactless sensor is directed away from the at least one touch sensor;
- and
- a controller to combine the touch data and the contactless data into combined data to generate, based on the combined data, a virtual hand to be displayed on the display including an unsensed feature generated for the virtual hand.
A method comprising:
- receiving touch data from at least one touch sensor of an input device, and contactless data from at least one contactless sensor of the input device, wherein a field of view of the at least one contactless sensor is directed away from the at least one touch sensor;
- generating a virtual hand based on combined data including the touch data and the contactless data;
- and
- displaying the virtual hand including an unsensed feature generated for the virtual hand.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a computing device that, when executed, cause the computing device to:
- receive touch data from at least one touch sensor of an input device, and contactless data from at least one contactless sensor of the input device, wherein a field of view of the at least one contactless sensor is directed away from the at least one touch sensor;
- generate a virtual hand based on combined data including the touch data and the contactless data;
- and
- display the virtual hand including an unsensed feature generated for the virtual hand.
