Towards the creation of a Gesture Library
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The evolution of technology has risen new possibilities in the so called Natural User Interfaces research area. Among distinct initiatives, several researchers are working with the existing sensors towards improving the support to gesture languages. This article tackles the recognition of gestures, using the Kinect sensor, in order to create a gesture library and support the gesture recognition processes afterwards.

Characterisation of gestural units in light of human-avatar interaction
We present a method for characterizing coverbal gestural units intended for human-avatar interaction. We recorded 12 gesture types, using a motion-capture system. We used the markers positions thus obtained to determine...
QoE-Aware Device-to-Device Multimedia Communications
Multimedia services over mobile device-to-device (D2D) networks has recently received considerable attention. In this scenario, each device is equipped with a cellular communication interface, as well as a D2D interface...
A taxonomy of camera calibration and video projection correction methods
This paper provides a classification of calibration methods for cameras and projectors. From basic homography to complex geometric calibration methods, this paper aims at simplifying the choice of the methods to perform...
Wearable robot that measures user vital signs for elderly care and support
In this paper, we introduce a wearable robot with vital sensors. So far, we have been developing a wearable partner agent that makes physical contact, which is generated by combining haptic stimuli and the agent's anthro...
The A-Z of Creative Technologies
This paper undertakes an initial critical analysis of Creative Technologies as a means to gain insight to the nature of this as an emerging field. The paper utilises an approach previously used in the design discipline t...
