This In today’s world touchscreen technology is playing a vital role in our lives and implementing such a technology in almost everything we use is very important. This paper talks about the application TOM-TOuch Mouse, which is used to give the user a touchscreen experience on any projected surface. TOM eases the usage of the projected surface by giving a touchscreen experience. The user needn’t keep moving to the computer that is connected to the projector to navigate or perform some task, instead he can use the projected surface itself as he would use the regular computer to perform required task. Unlike other solutions to convert projectors to touchscreen, TOM is freely available; since there is no usage of any hardware. TOM can be used by anyone without any technical knowledge and therefore can be used even in rural areas to provide a smooth and more interesting urban outlook to education or entertainment.
