Transcontextual Gestures

Hand Gestures Classification with Multi-Core DTW

Classifications of several gesture types are very helpful in several applications. This paper tries to address fast classifications of hand gestures using DTW over multi-core simple processors. We presented a methodology to distribute templates over multi-cores and then allow parallel execution of the classification. The results were presented to voting algorithm in which the majority vote was ...

Ambient Gestures

We present Ambient Gestures, a novel gesture-based system designed to support ubiquitous ‘in the environment’ interactions with everyday computing technology. Hand gestures and audio feedback allow users to control computer applications without reliance on a graphical user interface, and without having to switch from the context of a non-computer task to the context of the computer. The Ambient...

Conducting Gestures

Avatar Gestures

This paper describes the concept and control of a 3d Avatar system with mimic and gestures as a conversational user interface. The Avatar system including gestures and mimic is based on morphing techniques. It allows to generate sign language and mouth motion at lip reading quality in real time. The concept of a Speech Act is introduced and a table is defined to classify conversation fragments....

Keep Gestures Simple! Gestures Improving Collaborative Work on Tabletops

A paradigm shift from single-user computing to face-to-face communication enhanced by computer interfaces is taking place. This shift asks for a new kind of multi-user, multi-touch interaction and that leads to the use of new touches and gestures. I present a research paper that will give a state of the art in multi-touch, multi-user tabletop development, focused on enhancing collaborative grou...
