Abstract
In this study, we propose Floagent, as a human-computer interaction system that displays images in mid-air using infrared light reflected by a hot mirror. Floagent is an interaction system that allows users to focus on a mid-air image without being aware of sensors. By combining a hot mirror and a retroreflective transmissive optical element, Floagent conceals the camera from the user without affecting the mid-air image. To evaluate the proposed system, we investigated the accuracy of touch input interactions with mid-air images. The results show that the proposed system was able to measure user input well. Floagent enables an interaction design with a hidden sensor in which mid-air images appear to respond spontaneously to a wide variety of interaction events.
