چکیده

This paper describes the design of a perceptual user interface for controlling a flying cartoon-animated dragon in QuiQui's Giant Bounce, a physically and vocally interactive computer game for 4 to 9 years old children. The dragon mimics the user's movements and breathes fire when the user shouts. The game works on a PC computer equipped with practically any lowcost microphone and webcam. It is targeted for uncontrolled real-life environments such as homes and schools.

Human Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
