Gesture recognition is used in futuristic interfaces to enhance the
Human Computer Interaction. It also furthers the Ubiquitous
Computing vision, by removing the obstacles in directly interacting
with a computer. As humans, we frequently use gestures in everyday
tasks to communicate. Gesture recognition researchers are
investigating ways of making systems which can realize the vision of
using gestures to control computer systems. This research area
received a boost when Nintendo unveiled its Wii Console system
containing Wiimote (gesture making device). Since the success of
the Wii console, intensive research was started in this area, with
giants like Microsoft employing teams of researchers to create their
own gesture recognition technology. We propose to develop a
system (API) which will use the Wiimote to a) read and recognize
dynamic hand or finger 2D gestures, b) do real time tracking and c)
do pinch clicking, to perform operations on user applications. Such a
system could be integrated with new and existing applications, to be
controlled through the above mentioned type of gestures. A
demonstration shall be provided with some characteristic user
applications software. Additionally a Gesture Manager software will
be provided to easily do gesture management (creation, remove, add
etc.). And finally our work will provide a gesture system which will be
low-cost because of the low-cost and easy accessibility of the
Wiimote.
