This document provides an overview of possible 3D gestures that could be used in gestural user interfaces. It divides gestures into upper body gestures (involving movement above the waist), lower body gestures (below the waist), and full body gestures. Within each category, gestures are further divided into static poses and dynamic movements. Over 100 specific gestures are defined, with descriptions of possible functions they could activate such as playing/pausing media, scrolling, selecting options, and changing properties like volume. The document was created by the Embedded Interaction Lab team with input from IBM Research to explore gestures for social acceptance.
3 dimensional gestures
- 1. 3 Dimensional Gestures Documented at Embedded Interaction Lab (EILab)
- 2. 3D Gesture Documentation is an attempt to provide an overview of possible 3D gestures, which can be implemented in gestural user interfaces for variety of purposes. It highlights possible functionality associated with it. The functionalities given in this document are general purpose, it may vary with the context and its users It is gathered from existing literature and initial research activity (ongoing) on identification of appropriate gestures for social acceptance in collaboration with IBM Research (India). This documentation is the first draft, which will further be updated at various stages and intimated
- 3. The document is divided into three major sections: • Upper body gestures Gestures that involve upper body (above waist) • Lower body gestures Gestures that involve lower body (below waist) • Full body gestures Gestures that involve full body
- 4. These three categories are further sub divided into static gestures and dynmaic gestures. Static Gesture Static gestures are postures that does not take movements into account. For example, stop gesture can be performed to stop ongoing video. Posture of “palm facing” is detected to activate stop action, but the movement of hand is not considered.
- 5. These three categories are further sub divided into static gestures and dynmaic gestures. Dynamic Gesture Dynamic gestures are movements. Dynamics in a gesture provide a meaning, which are taken into consideration to activate an action. For example, in drag gesture, initial and last position of hand movement is interpreted to activate appropriate action
