A touch control apparatus, having a touch pad receiving contact from at least one object is provided. Four edges form a rectangle that encircles the touch pad. All the edges are surfaced with geometric textures. A first camera is deposited on a corner of the first edge and the fourth edge of the rectangle, having a field of view sufficient to collect a first image including the second edge and third edge of the rectangle. A second camera is deposited on a corner of the second edge and the fourth edge of the rectangle, having a field of view sufficient to collect a second image including the first edge and third edge of the rectangle. A calculation unit performs a characteristic extraction process on the geometric textures of the first and second images to determine whether an object has touched the touch pad, and if so, coordinates thereof are determined.
