Popis: Touchless technology has garnered significant interest in recent years because of its effectiveness in combating infectious diseases such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The goal of this study was to develop an inexpensive and high-precision touchless technology. A base substrate was coated with a luminescent material that emitted static-electricity-induced luminescence (SEL), and it was applied at high voltage. An inexpensive web camera was used to verify the relationship between the non-contact distance to a needle and the applied-voltage-triggered luminescence. The SEL was emitted at 20–200 mm from the luminescent device upon voltage application, and the web camera detected the SEL position with an accuracy of less than 1 mm. We used this developed touchless technology to demonstrate a highly accurate real-time detection of the position of a human finger based on SEL.
