AirTouch video tutorials

In this video, we'll show you how to properly position your camera for the best AirTouch experience. We'll also explain the difference between manual setup and AutoZoom, and how to optimize your camera angle and zoom level. For the best tracking, position yourself so that about one quarter to one third of your torso is visible, and that the camera only shows the upper body of the primary actor. If you're right-handed, sit slightly to the left so your dominant hand is centered in the camera view. If you're left-handed, sit slightly to the right. You should be able to comfortably move your hand throughout the screen without reaching outside the camera frame. If your camera is too close or too zoomed in, AirTouch may display the Hand Too Close message. To fix this, either move farther away from the camera or reduce the camera's zoom level. If you'd rather not adjust the camera yourself, you can enable AutoZoom. When AutoZoom is enabled, AirTouch automatically scans the scene to detect the first person who raises their hand. It crops the camera for an optimal viewing area. AutoZoom is especially useful when multiple people are visible, or when you're sitting more than two meters away from the camera. With your camera positioned correctly, you'll enjoy smoother tracking, better reach across the screen, and more accurate gesture recognition. You're now ready to start using AirTouch.

In this video, I'll show you how to adjust your camera settings in AirTouch for the best tracking and image quality. Open File. Select Camera Settings. As you can see, you have different options to adjust, such as manual crop, rotations, flip vertically, and flip horizontally. Make sure you click Save and Close to keep the changes you made. For camera properties, open File, select Camera Settings, then click Camera Properties to access your camera's built-in controls. Depending on your camera model, you may have access to settings like zoom, hue, brightness, sharpness, contrast, and saturation. As you adjust each option, you'll see the changes immediately in the camera preview. When you're satisfied with the image, click Apply, then OK to save your changes. Keep in mind that any changes you make in camera properties apply to the camera itself, not just AirTouch. These settings will carry over to any other application that uses the same camera. If you ever want to restore your camera's original settings, click Default. Optimizing your camera settings can improve tracking accuracy and create a better overall AirTouch experience.

In this video, I'll show you how to assign custom actions and keyboard shortcuts to AirTouch gestures. Open File, then Settings, to access the gesture configuration menu. Make sure you select the correct profile. I will be choosing Profile 1. Select a gesture, choose the action you want, then click Save. For keyboard shortcuts, type the shortcut exactly as you would press it, like Ctrl+L. After saving, close the settings window and test the gesture. In this example, performing the Thumb Up gesture activates the Ctrl+L shortcut. If you ever want to restore the original mappings, click the Default button. Also remember that the Open Palm gesture controls mouse movement and can't be reassigned. Another available action is Next Profile. This gesture allows you to quickly switch between different AirTouch profiles. For example, I will assign Next Profile to Thumb Right, then click Save and Close. Every time I do Thumb Right, I switch to a different profile. The Mouse Up action works like physically picking up a mouse and repositioning it. I will assign it to Fist. When I do the gesture, it helps me reposition my hand. This is useful when navigating large displays, or you need to quickly move the cursor without continuously dragging your hand across the entire screen. That's it. You now know how to customize and test gesture keybinds in AirTouch.

In this video, I'll show you how to adjust the mouse speed, scroll tick delay, and double-click delay in AirTouch, and how each setting affects navigation. Open File, then Settings. Here you'll find the mouse speed slider, scroll speed setting, and the double-click delay under all the gesture keybinds. Lower mouse speeds require larger hand movements to move the cursor across the screen. Increasing the mouse speed allows you to reach the edges of the screen more quickly with less hand movement. Ensure you have a keybind set for Mouse Wheel Scroll. Go to File and Settings. I will then assign Mouse Wheel Scroll to Thumb Left. Make sure you click Save and Close. The scroll tick setting controls how quickly the page scrolls. A higher delay results in slower scrolling, a lower delay makes scrolling faster. As you can see, when I move my hand up while doing Thumb Left, I scroll up. Finally, the double-click delay sets the time window you have to tap twice for a double-click to register. Setting this to zero makes double-clicking almost impossible. Adjust these settings to find the speed that's most comfortable for your workspace and workflow.

In this video, we'll explore some of AirTouch's advanced settings, including AutoZoom, Support Color Glove, Ignore Eye Gaze, and Hand Raise Action. Open File, then navigate to the Advanced Settings section. Enable AutoZoom and click Save and Close. AutoZoom automatically detects the first person who raises their hand and crops the camera view around them. This is especially useful when you're farther away from the camera, or when multiple people are in view. By default, AirTouch recognizes natural skin tones. If you're using a blue, green, or purple surgical glove, enable Support Color Glove so AirTouch can detect your hand correctly. To enable it, click File, then Advanced Settings. Check the box to enable Support Color Glove. If you would like, you can disable AutoZoom as well. Now that I enabled it, I will demonstrate hand movements with a non-flesh color glove. Using this feature helps AirTouch identify your hand. When Ignore Eye Gaze is enabled, you can perform gestures even if you're not looking directly at the camera. When it's disabled, you must look directly at the camera before gesture interaction is allowed. This can help reduce accidental activations in environments where precision is important. Hand Raise Action lets you trigger a keyboard shortcut as soon as AirTouch detects your raised hand. I will put Ctrl+L as my shortcut. When I raise my hand, the shortcut will be executed. Make sure you click Save and Close. This can be useful for launching an application, displaying a visual indicator, or triggering another automated action whenever gesture control becomes active. In the next video, we'll take a closer look at touch mode and proximity trigger.

In this video, we'll look at two advanced AirTouch features: touch mode and proximity trigger. Open File and select Advanced Settings. Proximity Trigger allows AirTouch to perform a keyboard shortcut when someone approaches the camera. Click on the drop-down menu and select Keyboard Shortcut. I'll assign it to Ctrl+T, which will create a new tab. Make sure you click Save and Close.
