Natural Gesture Based Interaction for Handheld Augmented Reality

Gao, Lei January 2013 (has links)
The goal of this research thesis is to explore and evaluate a novel interaction interface performing canonical manipulations in 3D space for Augmented Reality (AR) on handheld devices. Different from current handheld AR applications usually using touch-screen based interaction methods, we developed a 3D gesture based interaction approach for handheld AR using an attached RGB-Depth camera to provide intuitive 3D interaction experience in 3D space. By identifying fingertips and mapping their 3D positions into the coordinate system of AR virtual scene, our proposed method allows users to perform operations on virtual objects using their fingers in midair with six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF). We applied our methods in two systems: (1) a client-server handheld AR system, and (2) a standalone handheld tablet AR system. In order to evaluate the usability of our gesture-based interface we conducted a user study in which we compared the performance to a 2D touch-based interface. From the results, we concluded that traditional 2D touch-based interface performed faster than our proposed 3D gesture-based interface. However, our method proved a high entertainment value, suggesting great possibilities for leisure applications.

Gestion de la variabilité morphologique pour la reconnaissance de gestes naturels à partir de données 3D / Addressing morphological variability for natural gesture recognition from 3D data

Sorel, Anthony 06 December 2012 (has links)
La reconnaissance de mouvements naturels est de toute première importance dans la mise en oeuvre d’Interfaces Homme-Machine intelligentes et efficaces, utilisables de manière intuitive en environnement virtuel. En effet, elle permet à l’utilisateur d’agir de manière naturelle et au système de reconnaitre les mouvements corporel effectués tels qu’ils seraient perçu par un humain. Cette tâche est complexe, car elle demande de relever plusieurs défis : prendre en compte les spécificités du dispositif d’acquisition des données de mouvement, gérer la variabilité cinématique dans l’exécution du mouvement, et enfin gérer les différences morphologiques inter-individuelles, de sorte que les mouvements de tout nouvel utilisateur puissent être reconnus. De plus, de part la nature interactive des environnements virtuels, cette reconnaissancedoit pouvoir se faire en temps-réel, sans devoir attendre la fin du mouvement. La littérature scientifique propose de nombreuses méthodes pour répondre aux deux premiers défis mais la gestion de la variabilité morphologique est peu abordée. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons une description du mouvement permettant de répondre à cette problématique et évaluons sa capacité à reconnaitre les mouvements naturels d’un utilisateur inconnu. Enfin, nous proposons unenouvelle méthode permettant de tirer partie de cette représentation dans une reconnaissance précoce du mouvement / Recognition of natural movements is of utmost importance in the implementation of intelligent and effective Human-Machine Interfaces for virtual environments. It allows the user to behave naturally and the system to recognize its body movements in the same way a human might perceive it. This task is complex, because it addresses several challenges : take account of the specificities of the motion capture system, manage kinematic variability in motion performance, and finally take account of the morphological differences between individuals, so that actions of any new user can be recognized. Moreover, due to the interactive nature of virtual environments, this recognition must be achieved in real-time without waiting for the motion end. The literature offers many methods to meet the first two challenges. But the management of the morphological variability is not dealt. In this thesis, we propose a description of the movement to address this issue and we evaluate its ability to recognize the movements of an unknown user. Finally, we propose a new method to take advantage of this representation in early motion recognition
