Abstract

In recent years, research about Natural User Interface (NUI) has become focused because NUI system can give natural feelings for users in virtual reality. Most important thing in NUI system is how to communicate with the computer system. There are many things to interact with users such as speech, hand gestures, body actions. Among them, hand gesture is suitable for the purpose of NUI because people often use a relatively high frequency in daily life and hand gesture have meaning only by itself. This hand gestures called multi-cultural hand gesture and we proposed the method to recognize this kind of hand gestures. Proposed method is composed of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) used for hand shape recognition and Histogram of Oriented Displacements (HOD) used for hand center point trajectory recognition.
