Media player always In Human Computer interaction, the first requires mouse or keyboard to control it. and foremost thing is the interfacing. There Every media player application when its are many techniques that have been active has the basic operations on it. It has implemented so far as interfacing also got some shortcut keys that requires the techniques. Gesture Plays an important role keyboard, to perform some action related while interacting with the Computer with every key. But when the keyboard applications. It enables humans to malfunctions or not working these things communicate with the machine and interact become somewhat difficult to control. In without any mechanical device. In Gesture this case using Gestures one can handle any Recognition , there has been always an issue application. Augmented reality makes it about how to interact with the Computer. very user friendly to control any application Various bodily gestures are used to interact using gestures. with Computer, they include, hands , face, legs, eyes etc but most commonly used are II.Existing system: hands and face. Hand gestures can be used as various commands to operate certain Gesture Recognition aims to interpret applications. But main problem in Hand human gestures via Mathematical gestures is they totally depends on the Algorithms. There have been many gesture database that is the storage space for their recognition techniques that are presently gesture matching. They are static gestures worked on such as Color pointer techniques that needs memory to store the images and many more. learn a particular gesture. For tackling this A.Hand gesture one of the problem, Augmentation, was introduced as Human Computer Interaction Modeling of hand gesture mainly require technology, that aims to combine the 2D or gesture regniation which provide new way ta 3D virtual objects with the real world access machine[4].for modeling mainly pictures[1].

The proposed interface is designed to provide a real-to-virtual direct hand interface using a controller to map a real hand gesture to a virtual hand in an easy and simple structure. In addition, a gesture-to-action interface that expresses the process of gesture to action in real-time without the necessity of a graphical user interface (GUI) used in existing interactive applications is proposed. This interface uses the method of applying image classification training process of capturing a 3D virtual hand gesture model as a 2D image using a deep learning model, convolutional neural network (CNN). The key objective of this process is to provide users with intuitive and realistic interactions that feature convenient operation in immersive virtual reality. To achieve this, an application that can compare and analyze the proposed interface and the existing GUI was developed. Next, a survey experiment was conducted to statistically analyze and evaluate the positive effects on the sense of presence through user satisfaction with the interface experience.

  • Controlling Robots with Wii Gestures
    WiiRobot: Controlling Robots with Wii Gestures Aysun Bas¸c¸etinc¸elik Department of Computer Science Brown University Providence, RI, 02906 [email protected] May 15, 2009 Abstract In this project, we introduce WiiRobot, a sim- ple and reproducable gesture based robot con- troller. Our proposed system uses the Nintendo Wii Remote Controller to interact with a robot. The user first trains the system using Wii Re- mote in order to recognize future gestures. For the recognition process, we implemented two simple algorithms; K-Nearest Neighbour and sum of square differences. Our results show that using only a few number of repetitions per gesture is enough for recognition. 1 Introduction Finding a natural and effective way of communication with robots is important in order to enhance their contribution in our daily lives. For this purpose, there have been various developments in the area of Human- Figure 1: User controlling the robot with Wii Remote Robot Interaction.

    Analysis and Categorization of 2D Multi-Touch Gesture Recognition Techniques THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Aditi Singhal Graduate Program in Computer Science and Engineering The Ohio State University 2013 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Rajiv Ramnath, Adviser Dr. Jay Ramanathan, Co-Adviser Copyright by Aditi Singhal 2013 Abstract Various techniques have been implemented for wide variety of gesture recognition applications. However, discerning the best technique to adopt for a specific gesture application is still a challenge. Wide variety, complexity in the gesture and the need for complex algorithms make implementation of recognition difficult even for basic gesture applications. In this thesis, different techniques for two dimensional (2D) touch gestures are reviewed, compared and categorized based on user requirements of the gesture applications. This work introduces two main paradigms for gesture applications: a) gestures for direct manipulation and navigation, b) gesture-based languages. These two paradigms have specific and separate roles in 2D touch gesture systems. To provide the clear distinction between two paradigms, three different algorithms are implemented for basic to complex 2D gestures using simple sometimes, as well as complex techniques such as linear regression and Hidden Markov Models. Thereafter, these algorithms are analyzed based on their performance and their fit with application requirements. ii Dedication I lovingly dedicate this thesis to my husband Shashnk Agrawal, who supported me each step of the way, my son Aryan Agrawal who in his 3 year old wisdom knew that mommy should not be disturbed while studying, and my late father Dr.

    Bringing Gesture Recognition To All Devices Bryce Kellogg†, Vamsi Talla†, and Shyamnath Gollakota University of Washington † Co-primary Student Authors Abstract Existing gesture-recognition systems consume signifi- cant power and computational resources that limit how they may be used in low-end devices. We introduce AllSee, the first gesture-recognition system that can op- erate on a range of computing devices including those with no batteries. AllSee consumes three to four or- ders of magnitude lower power than state-of-the-art sys- tems and can enable always-on gesture recognition for smartphones and tablets.
