User interactions are being developed in various forms, and in particular, interactions using human gestures are being actively studied. Among them, hand gesture recognition is used as a human interface in the field of realistic media based on the 3D Hand Model. The use of interfaces based on hand gesture recognition helps users access media media more easily and conveniently. User interaction using hand gesture recognition should be able to view images by applying fast and accurate hand gesture recognition technology without restrictions on the computer environment. This paper developed a fast and accurate user hand gesture recognition algorithm using the open source media pipe framework and machine learning's k-NN (K-Nearest Neighbor). In addition, in order to minimize the restriction of the computer environment, a stereoscopic image control system based on user hand gesture recognition was designed and implemented using a web service environment capable of Internet service and a docker container, a virtual environment.

Recently, various kinds of new computer controlled devices have been introduced in a wide range of areas, and convenient user interfaces for controlling the devices are strongly needed. To implement natural user interfaces(NUIs) on top of the devices, new technologies like a touch screen, Wii Remote, wearable interfaces, and Microsoft Kinect were presented. This paper presents a natural and intuitive gesture-based model for controlling contents of LCD display. Microsoft Kinect sensor and its SDK are used to recognize human gestures, and the gestures are interpreted into corresponding commands to be executed. A command dispatch model is also proposed in order to handle the commands more naturally. I expect the proposed interface can be used in various fields, including display contents control.

본 논문에서는 상황 인지(Context Aware)를 이용한 제스처 인식 방법에 대하여 기술한다. 기존의 인식 방법들은 대부분 제스처의 개별적인 의미를 중심으로 제스처를 분류하는 방법을 사용한다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 인식 알고리즘을 일반화하는데 있어서 다음과 같은 문제점들을 가지고 있다. 첫째, 인간의 모든 제스처를 제한된 특징으로 모호하지 않게 구별하기 어렵다. 둘째, 같은 제스처라 할지라도 상황에 따라 다른 의미를 내포할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 확률 기반의 상황 인지 모델을 이용한 제스처 인식 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 제스처의 개별적인 의미를 인식하기 전에 대상의 상황을 추상적으로 분류함으로써 행위자의 의도를 정확히 파악할 수 있다. 본 방법은 시스템의 상태를 [NULL], [OBJECT], [POSTURE], [GLOBAL], [LOCAL]의 5 가지 상태로 정의한 뒤, 각 상태의 천이를 바탕으로 대상의 상황을 판단한다. 이러한 상황 정보에 따라 각 상태에 최적화된 인식 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 지능적인 제스처 인식을 수행할 수 있으며, 기존 방법들이 갖는 제스처 인식의 제약을 완화 시키는 효과가 있다. 따라서, 제안하는 제스처 인터페이스는 자연스러운 상호 작용이 필요한 지능형 정보 가전 혹은 지능형 로봇의 HCI 로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

컴퓨터와 인간사이의 원활한 의사소통 및 인터랙션을 위해 기존의 키보드, 마우스를 대체할 수 있는 다양한 입력장치들이 개발되고 있다. 하지만 정보를 탐색, 접근하는 데에 있어서 기존의 장치들은 클릭과 같은 제한적인 동작만을 입력 값으로 받아들이므로 이러한 방식에 익숙하지 않은 사용자의 입장에서는 부자연스러움을 느끼는 요인이 된다. 사용자의 제스처를 인식할 수 있는 인터페이스를 통해 일상에서 사물을 사용할 때의 행동양식을 그대로 가져올 수 있다면, 디지털 콘텐츠에 접근하는데 있어 보다 직관적이고 편리하게 컴퓨터와 의사소통 될 수 있다. 제스처는 동작의 자율성이 높고 때로 그 의미를 파악하기 모호하기 때문에 동작들을 정확히 인식하여 구분할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 바탕으로 효과적인 제스처 인터페이스의 구현을 위해 필요한 점들을 살펴보고, 기술적 구현을 통해 디지털 콘텐츠와의 인터랙션을 보여주고자 한다. 정보 접근에 있어 가장 익숙하고 전통적이라 할 수 있는 책의 메타포를 통해 페이지를 넘기는 행동양식을 인식할 수 있는 인터페이스를 개발하고 이를 입력장치로 사용한다. 사용자의 동작을 인식, 파악하여 책을 앞뒤로 넘기거나 탐색하며 원하는 정보에 접근할 수 있도록 유도하고 손 동작을 통한 인터페이스를 수단으로 컴퓨터와의 유연한 의사소통이 가능하도록 구현한다.

GUI(graphical user interface) has been the dominant platform for HCI(human computer interaction). The GUI-based style of interaction has made computers simpler and easier to use. However GUI will not easily support the range of interaction necessary to meet users' needs that are natural, intuitive, and adaptive. In this paper we study an approach to track a hand in an image sequence and recognize it, in each video frame for replacing the mouse as a pointing device to virtual reality. An algorithm for real time processing is proposed by estimating of the position of the hand and segmentation, considering the orientation of motion and color distribution of hand region.

There are still problems have to solve for safety of driving comparing to the upgraded convenience of advanced vehicle. Most traffic accident is by uncareful driving cause of interface operations which are directive reasons of it in controlling the complicate multimedia device. According to interesting in smart automobile, various approaches for safe driving have been studied. The current multimedia interface embedded in vehicle is lacking the safety due to loss the sense and operation capacity by instantaneous view movement. In this paper, we propose a safe dialing system for safe driving to control dial and search dictionary by hand-gesture. The proposed system improved the user convenience and safety in automobile operation using intuitive gesture and TTS(Text to Speech).

Recently immersive virtual reality (VR) becomes popular due to the advanced development of I/O interfaces and related SWs for effectively constructing VR environments. In particular, natural and intuitive manipulation of 3D virtual objects is still considered as one of the most important user interaction issues. This paper presents a comparative study on the manipulation and interaction of 3D virtual objects using different interfaces and interactions in three VR environments. The comparative study includes both quantitative and qualitative aspects. Three different experimental setups are 1) typical desktop-based VR using mouse and keyboard, 2) hand gesture-supported desktop VR using a Leap Motion sensor, and 3) immersive VR by wearing an HMD with hand gesture interaction using a Leap Motion sensor. In the desktop VR with hand gestures, the Leap Motion sensor is put on the desk. On the other hand, in the immersive VR, the sensor is mounted on the HMD so that the user can manipulate virtual objects in the front of the HMD. For the quantitative analysis, a task completion time and success rate were measured. Experimental tasks require complex 3D transformation such as simultaneous 3D translation and 3D rotation. For the qualitative analysis, various factors relating to user experience such as ease of use, natural interaction, and stressfulness were evaluated. The qualitative and quantitative analyses show that the immersive VR with the natural hand gesture provides more intuitive and natural interactions, supports fast and effective performance on task completion, but causes stressful condition.

In these days, many systems are equipped with people to infer their intention and provide the corresponding service. People always carry their own mobile device with various sensors, and the accelerator takes a role in this environment. The accelerator collects motion information, which is useful for the development of gesture-based user interfaces. Generally, it needs to develop an effective method for the mobile environment that supports relatively less computational capability since huge computation is required to recognize time-series patterns such as gestures. In this paper, we propose a 2-stage motion recognizer composed of low-level and high-level motions based on the motion library. The low-level motion recognizer uses the dynamic time warping with 3D acceleration data, and the high-level motion is defined linguistically with the low-level motions.

There are many discussions nowadays about utilizing smartphones to create a mobile computing educational environment. The purpose of this study is to develope an application which addresses the growing importance of mental arithmetic maps in lower elementary grades. Considering current theories on developmental characteristics for the target levels I decided that a gesture based input interface increase the users concentration and interest. Students using this application will learn and reinforce the basics of the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of natural numbers. By removing the limitations of time and space as afforded by the convenience of a smartphone and utilizing a gesture based input interface we can combine an application which increases users mental arithmetic speed and precision with the enjoyment of a game.
