Abstract

Today, with this fast-changing world, portability is one of the critical factors for consumers when choosing a personal computer (PC). Still, the conventional hardware keyboard is a significant limitation in desktops and notebooks. Virtual keyboard prototype solves hardware limitations of the keyboard by presenting an easy and economical alternative using minimum external hardware. In this paper, we have tried to design a virtual keyboard model, which is based on image processing using an inbuilt camera. After that, the basic framework of this can be modified to serve various types of augmented reality (AR), paper, and air keyboard purposes.
