...technology could come to the rescue. Recognising this potential, a lot of growth has been made in the ‘Gesture Recognition Technology’. Now, gestures can be used as a form of input. They will help in bridging the gap between humans and machines. Now, with the advent of this technology, the need of a physical touch on the machine would be eliminated, and the machines would be able to interpret these gestures and operate. Using the concept of gesture recognition, it would be possible to point a finger at the computer screen so that the cursor will move accordingly. This could potentially make the potential input devices such as mouse, keyboard redundant. The report presents the details of the ‘Gesture Recognition Technology’, throws light on the fields where the technology can be applied, provides the technical know-how of the technology- how it works, and discusses the major solution Providers along with the product offerings. The report concludes with the mentioning possible issues which could limit the wide spread of the technology. 2.

...Sciences, 6(8): 492-499, 2012 ISSN 1991-8178 Kinect-based Gesture Password Recognition Mohd Afizi Mohd Shukran, Mohd Suhaili Bin Ariffin Faculty of Science and Defence Technology, Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia, Aras 6, Bangunan Bistari, Kem Sungai Besi, 57000 Kuala Lumpur. Abstract: Hand gesture password might be the most natural and intuitive way to communicate between people and machines, since it closely mimics how human interact with each other. Its intuitiveness and naturalness have spawned many applications in exploring large and complex data, computer games, virtual reality, health care, etc. Although the market for hand gesture password is huge, building a robust hand gesture recognition system remains a challenging problem for traditional vision-based approaches, which are greatly limited by the quality of the input from optical sensors. In this paper, we use their gesture in order to login or authenticate to the system. And then we introduce a novel method to create a gesture pattern that act as a password. This hand gesture recognition system performs robustly despite variations in hand orientation, scale or articulation. Moreover, it works well in uncontrolled environments with background clusters. Key words: Password Recognition, Authentication, Gesture password INTRODUCTION The advent of relatively cheap image and depth sensors has spurred research in the field of object tracking and gesture recognition. One of the more popular devices used to do this type...

...Being a significant part in non verbal communication hand gestures are playing vital role in our daily life. Hand Gesture recognition system provides us an innovative, natural, user friendly way of interaction with the computer which is more familiar to the human beings. Gesture Recognition has a wide area of application including human machine interaction, sign language, immersive game technology etc. By keeping in mind the similarities of human hand shape with four fingers and one thumb, this paper aims to present a real time system for hand gesture recognition on the basis of detection of some meaningful shape based features like orientation, centre of mass (centroid), status of fingers, thumb in terms of raised or folded fingers of hand and their respective location in image. The approach introduced in this paper is totally depending on the shape parameters of the hand gesture. It does not consider any other mean of hand gesture recognition like skin color, texture because these image based features are extremely variant to different light conditions and other influences. To implement this approach we have utilized a simple web cam which is working on 20 fps with 7 mega pixel intensity. On having the input sequence of images through web...

...of a positioning module (like GPS) to determine the current location of the user inside the building. The maps for buildings should be formed with a collaborative effort, with different users tagging locations or objects as they encounter them. Rerouting will be needed when a user fails to follow the directions provided by the system. Keep in mind that in such a system, the streets will be corridors and ramps will be elevators or stairs. Also, we cannot expect our user to pass through walls, so entering a room will only be possible after exiting one! 2. Who am I? Person recognition has been a hot topic in a variety of fields for years. With the proliferation in social networking, this topic is becoming even more important, as it is used in tasks like auto-tagging of pictures. This project involves developing a mobile person recognition system, which uses a combination of existing face recognition algorithms and the locations of users (using information from an application like Google Latitude) to make the most accurate prediction. 3. Programming Game: Everyone likes games and the trend is for education to capitalize on this in order to encourage learning of various topics. In the end-product of this project, students would have to write little programs in order to progress through a game. One...

...ABSTRACT The field of humanoids robotics is widely recognized as the current challenge for robotics research .The humanoid research is an approach to understand and realize the complex real world interactions between a robot, an environment, and a human. The humanoid robotics motivates social interactions such as gesture communication or co-operative tasks in the same context as the physical dynamics. This is essential for three-term interaction, which aims at fusing physical and social interaction at fundamental levels. People naturally express themselves through facial gestures and expressions. Our goal is to build a facial gesture human-computer interface fro use in robot applications. This system does not require special illumination or facial make-up. By using multiple Kalman filters we accurately predict and robustly track facial features. Since we reliably track the face in real-time we are also able to recognize motion gestures of the face. Our system can recognize a large set of gestures (13) ranging from “yes”, ”no” and “may be” to detecting winks, blinks and sleeping. Chapter 1 ROLE OF HUMANOIDS 1. INTRODUCTION.: The field of humanoids robotics, widely recognized as the current challenge for robotics research, is attracting the interest of many research groups worldwide. Important efforts have been devoted to the objective of developing humanoids and impressive results have been produced, from the technological point of view, especially...

...proposed work is part of a project that aims for the control of a mouse based on hand gesture recognition. This goal implies the restriction of real-time response and unconstrained environments. This is basically a vision based skincolour segmentation method for moving hand in real time application [3]. This algorithm is based on three main steps: hand segmentation, hand tracking and gesture recognition from hand features. For the hand segmentation step we use the colour cue due to the characteristic colour values of human [1]. The hands are recognized by the computer using the skin colour as one of the basic features for the hand recognition. The important feature is the accurate segmentation of hands [3]. I. Introduction Nowadays, the majority of the human-computer interaction (HCI) is based on mechanical devices such as keyboards, mouse, joysticks or gamepads. In recent years there has been a growing interest in a class of methods based on computational vision due to its ability to recognise human gestures in a natural way .These methods use as input the images acquired from a camera or from a stereo pair of cameras. The main goal of these algorithms is to measure the hand configuration in each time instant. Our application uses images from a lowcost web camera placed in front of the hand. The hand must be localized in the image and segmented from the background before recognition. The pixels are selected from the hand. The selected pixels are transformed from the RGB-space...

...new technologies. Now, a majority of these are not real. But in the rapid evolution of information technology, that time when we use the stuff Tony Stark uses might be sooner than we think. Here are a few samples of the technologies that are emerging right now: 1. Gesture Recognition Using gesture recognition and Computer vision control technology, we can make some tasks easier. It is also being used In Xbox 360’s kinect. This can become quite useful in the future. It is even being considered in the field of surgery – a very delicate field. In the movies, we can see Tony stark making hand gestures with his UI. It is awesome because the information is displayed right in front of him. He performs a lot of activities with his hands. Where could we apply this? I can imagine using this technology in manufacturing where small and delicate parts are inspected manually on some departments. Hand gesture could be used with a powerful camera and mechanical arms that allows the inspector to check very small equipment by having it displayed on a big screen, not through a device that looks like a microscope. And using his or her hand gestures, the camera and the mechanical arm can be controlled using hand gestures. That will simplify and make the job a lot easier. The inspection will be more accurate as well. 2. HoloVizio True 3D Display This technology uses no goggles. The displayed object depends on the viewer’s perspective. It is manufactured by Holografika and is available...

...Use Voice, Gestures to Control TV a new wave of TVs this year will provide the option of using voice controls or hand gestures to navigate channels, change volumes or find the right content from broadcasts or the Internet. Samsung recently shipped new interactive TVs that not only recognize hand gestures, but also voice commands with the assistance of a "Smart Touch Remote" control. Lenovo hopes to go beyond voice and gesture recognition with a smart TV that is capable of quality gaming. Panasonic has already shipped some of its latest Viera TVs in the U.K. with Nuance Communications' Dragon TV platform, which allows users to speak out channel choices or Twitter updates. Samsung Smart TV Samsung a few weeks ago started shipping new TVs that users can control simply by speaking or moving their hands. The interactive TVs include the Smart Touch Control remote, which has a microphone to take in voice commands that are then transmitted wirelessly to a TV set. The TV responds to simple commands like "volume up" or "channel up." Saying "Web browser" opens up the browsing software, and users can also speak directly into the Google search box instead of typing. The remote and TV are linked via a long-range Bluetooth connection, and voice commands are helpful if a user is not in front of the TV. Beyond voice recognition, the TV also has gesture recognition features in which moving a hand in the air allows users to browse around and select features, much like the Nintendo Wii or Microsoft...

...5.0 Conclusion The sixth sense technology using hand gesture movement recognition is an emerging innovative ideas. Sixth sense technology is a wearable gestural device that breaking the traditional modal of connecting the digital without using any electronic devices such as computers, PDA, smart phones, etc. Sixth sense technology is not an alternative to replace electronic devices in the computing world however it act as an option to the existing electronic devices in the computing world. This invention created by Pranav Mistry, allows the users to be a part of the physical world and access to the digital world by using hand gesture recognition to interact with the information to obtain from the World Wide Web (www). Sixth sense technology enables to obtain pertinent data or information about the objects in the physical world and enable us to interaction between the physical world and the digital world. Nowadays, computing devices are getting portable and miniaturization that permits us to carry in our pocket and where we want. However, these devices act as an interface between the digital world and the physical world compared to the sixth sense technology that understands user's gesture movement made in the physical world and replicates in the digital world. For instance, an analog clock illusion will appear on the user's waist when the user draws a circle on the waist, checking departure time without login into the flight website and manipulate information that has been...

...Developing Guidelines to Design Gestures for Teaching Chinese as a Second Language From the Perspectives of Kinesics and Linguistics Yihan Zhou Seton Hall University Abstract According to kinesics and linguistic theories, this project investigates what parts are involved in making gestures and how gestures carry meanings. A wide range of body parts are involved in making a gesture. According to David Mcneill, the physical movements acquire meaning by iconics, metaphorics, deictics, and beats. The project also discovers an etymological way to connect gestures to Chinese vocabulary. Based on the findings, the project further develops some guidelines to design gestures for teaching Chinese. They are making easy movements, identifying teaching content, making gestures understandable to your students, and applying gestures into teaching. In the end, the project applies the guidelines in designing activities for teaching Chinese pronunciation, vocabulary, character, and culture. Keywords: guidelines, gestures, teaching Chinese, kinesics, linguistics 1. Introduction 2.1 Background Gestures are common body movements: teachers instruct with gestures, referees in soccer game use gestures, people greet each other with gestures. Then what are gestures? Generally speaking, gestures are body movements which accompany and even sometimes replace verbal language. Because of its intimacy with language, it has attracted the people’s attention since Greek and Roman era...
