Invisible Shield : Gesture - Based Mobile

Supervised Training Based Hand Gesture Recognition System

We have developed a hand gesture recognition system, based on the shape analysis of static gestures, for Human Computer Interaction purposes. Our appearance-based recognition uses modified Fourier descriptors for the classification of hand shapes. As always found in literature, such recognition systems consist of two phases: training and recognition. In our new practical approach, following the...

Turn-Based Gesture Interaction in Mobile Devices

When properly designed, gesture interaction can bring usability benefits to mobile device users. This article introduces a new accelerometerenabled method of mobile device gesture control, namely the turn-based interaction. Turning is a commonly understood concept in interaction with tangible objects. Applied in mobile devices as an abstracted virtual key command, it extends the variety of pote...

ZooZBeat: a Gesture-based Mobile Music Studio

ZooZBeat is a gesture-based mobile music studio. It is designed to provide users with expressive and creative access to music making on the go. ZooZBeat users shake the phone or tap the screen to enter notes. The result is quantized, mapped onto a musical scale, and looped. Users can then use tilt and shake movements to manipulate and share their creation in a group. Emphasis is placed on findi...
