Bare-hand 3D gesture input to interactive systems

Published:06 July 2006Publication History

ABSTRACT

Although the 2D desktop metaphor has been the dominating paradigm of user interfaces for over two decades, 3D models of interaction are becoming more feasible due to advances in computer output hardware and software technology. However, conventional input devices such as a mouse or track-pad generally restrict direct manipulation interaction to a 2D paradigm. More sophisticated 3D input devices such data-gloves have been available for some time, but these tend to be expensive or restrictive in their use. In this paper we describe a simple and inexpensive single camera-based video input system which allows 3D interaction with existing computer application using bare hands.
