Measuring Time Gestures with the Microsoft Kinect
نویسنده
چکیده
Gestures related to time can reveal implicit representations of the TIME is SPACE metaphor (Núñez & Sweetser, 2006). While past research has shown that gestures illustrate the direction of future and past on timelines, no detailed analysis of timelines has been possible. Using the Kinect depth camera and body tracking technology, we tracked participants’ co-speech gestures while explaining time-related concepts. We present data collected with novel, relatively unsupervised Kinect-based methods that offer evidence similar to traditional gesture-coding methods and could provide the opportunity for novel theoretical findings.

Measuring conventionalization in the manual modality
Gestures produced by users of spoken languages differ from signs produced by users of sign languages in that gestures are more typically ad hoc and idiosyncratic, while signs are more typically conventionalized and shared within a language community. To measure how gestures may change over time as a result of the process of conventionalization, we used a social coordination game to elicit repea...
متن کاملReal-Time Speed Detection of Hand Gesture using Kinect
In human-computer interaction (HCI), hand gestures provide an interactive natural communication between human and machines. Specifically, the visual interpretation of hand gestures will improve the usability, efficiency and quality of HCI. Recently, researchers are more interested in exploring computer vision-based analysis and interpretation of hand gestures, especially after the release of Mi...
متن کاملPrepose: Security and Privacy for Gesture-Based Programming
With the rise of sensors such as the Microsoft Kinect, Leap Motion, and hand motion sensors in phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S5, natural user interface (NUI) has become practical. NUI raises two key challenges for the developer: first, developers must create new code to recognize new gestures, which is a time consuming process. Second, to recognize these gestures, applications must have acc...
متن کاملGestures for Interaction between the Software CATIA and the Human via Microsoft Kinect
CAD systems are very useful tools in the industry, because they help design processes and new product development. However, it requires new mechanisms of interaction to provide greater usability of these tools. This usability can be provided through new interaction devices such as Kinect. We describe a methodology to find a series of gestures makes by the hands for control a CAD system with Kin...
متن کاملCS231A Project Milestone: Real-Time Airbending
We propose to design a framework for real-time interactive physics-based simulation using state of the art motion sensing devices such as the Microsoft Kinect. The user would be able to interact with the system using simple gestures, where each gesture would have a predefined action associated with it. We would like our system to recognize logically similar gestures, i.e., gestures that represe...
