Magnetic Gesture Recognition Technology
Format
SOECS Senior Project Demonstration
Abstract/Artist Statement
The proposed project is to design a 3-d gesture recognition input device that is attached to the user’s hands that controls a media based application. This idea was sparked from seeing a hand device that controlled a video interface from a science fiction film . This device could be used in various environments such as in hospitals education military and business to allow the users to not be bound to a keyboard and desk. The goal of the project is to provide a generic interface that allows the user to use gestures to easily and intuitively control media applications. A scaled-down prototype this device uses magnetic field sensing to detect motions in a three-dimensional axis. Although the gestures are currently restricted to linear movement along each axis the design opens the doors for the ability for rotational gesture recognition as well.
