Detecting keypresses using laser speckle patterns

Visit anfractuosity.com ↗Alternatives

In plain words

This project uses laser speckle patterns to detect keyboard keypresses without physical contact. By analyzing how laser light scatters off a keyboard's surface, it identifies which keys are pressed based on changes in the speckle pattern. It is for people interested in computer vision, security research, or unconventional input detection methods. The approach demonstrates a non-invasive way to monitor keyboard activity through optical sensing.
