چکیده

We present the Tangerine Smart Micrel Cube (SMCube) a smart device for Human Computer Interaction (HCI). The SMCube is a tangible smart object equipped with sensors (digital tri-axes accelerometer as default) and actuators (infrared LEDs, vibro-motors) embedded in a wooden cube. Data from accelerometer is used to locally detect the active face (the one directed upward) and a set of gesture performed by the user. These information are wirelessly sent to a base station for processing. Furthermore, through the LEDs the node can interact with a vision based system in a multi modal activity detection scenario.

Hidden Markov Models Implementation for Tangible Interfaces

Smart objects equipped with inertial sensors can recognize gestures and act as tangible interfaces to interact with smart environments. Hidden Markov Models (HMM) are a powerful tool for gesture recognition. Gesture recognition with HMM is performed using the forward algorithm. In this paper we evaluate the fixed point implementation of the forward algorithm for HMM to assess if this implementa...

Continuous Gesture Recognition for Resource Constrained Smart Objects

Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) feature physical objects that people can manipulate to interact with smart spaces. Smart objects used as TUIs can further improve user experience by recognizing and coupling natural gestures to commands issued to the computing system. Hidden Markov Models (HMM) are a typical approach to recognize gestures sampled from inertial sensors. In this paper we implement ...
