Augur-Like Gesture Interaction for A Magic
نویسنده
چکیده
Crystal balls are generally considered as a medium to perform divination or fortune-telling. These imaginations are mainly from some fantasy films and fictions, in which an augur can see into past, present, or future through a crystal ball. With the different impressions, crystal ball has revealed itself a perfect interface for the users to access and to manipulate visual media in an intuitive, imaginative and playful manner. We developed an interactive visual display system named Magic Crystal Ball (MaC Ball). MaC Ball is a spherical display system, which allows the users to see a virtual object/scene appearing inside a transparent sphere, and to manipulate the displayed content with barehanded interactions. Interacting with MaC Ball makes the users feeling acting with magic power. MaC Ball provides the user to manipulate with touch and hover interactions. For instance, the user waves hands above the ball, causing clouds blowing from bottom of the ball, or slides fingers on the ball to rotate the displayed object. In addition, the user can press single finger to select an object or to issue a button. MaC Ball takes advantages on the impressions to crystal balls, allowing for the users acting with visual media following their imaginations. For applications, MaC Ball is with high potential to be used for advertising and demonstration in museums, product launches, and other venues.

متن کاملMAGIC Summoning: Towards Automatic Suggesting and Testing of Gestures with Low Probability of False Positives During Use
Gestures for interfaces should be short, pleasing, intuitive, and easily recognized by a computer. However, it is a challenge for interface designers to create gestures easily distinguishable from users’ normal movements. Our tool MAGIC Summoning addresses this problem. Given a specific platform and task, we gather a large database of unlabeled sensor data captured in the environments in which ...
