This document outlines a project to develop a speech-enhanced gesture-based navigation system for Google Maps using Microsoft Kinect. The goals are to define gestures and voice commands to control Google Maps features on a large touchscreen, and evaluate the usability of this multimodal approach against traditional touch-based gestures. The proposed methodology involves researching similar systems, designing gestures and use cases, developing a prototype using Kinect and speech recognition, and conducting a comparative user study in the next semester to analyze the results. Challenges in speech recognition for Indian accents are also discussed.
Speech enhanced gesture based navigation for Google Maps
- 2. Speech Enhanced Gesture Based Navigation System for Google Maps An exploration in Multimodal HCI Under the Guidance of: Asst. Professor Manoj Majhi Vikas Luthra | Himanshu Bansal | Maulishree Pandey
- 3. Goal of Our Journey Abstract • Conventional method of using different features of Google Maps on touch-based devices entails use of touch-based gestures defined for the devices. • For certain touch-based devices like public kiosks, touch-screens, etc, it is possible to define in- air or 3D gestures. • Coupled with basic speech commands, a new group of interactions can be prepared for accessing Google Maps. • However, it becomes important to measure the usability of this new group of gestures against the conventional touch-based gestures before substation is considered.
- 4. Final Destination: Aim • Define the gestures and speech commons for the features of Google maps, and evaluate them against the existing interactions
- 5. Final Destination: Aim • Define the gestures and speech commons for the features of Google maps, and evaluate them against the existing interactions • Compare and evaluate usability of 3D gestures as well as speech against touch-based gestures for using Google Maps for a large touchscreen

- 13. Mode of Transportation : Microsoft Kinect Microsoft Kinect • Kinect sensor can build a 'depth map' of the area in front of it. • This depth map is used to recognize the distance of various objects in front of the kinect. • One of the popular uses is recognizing and tracking people standing in front of the sensor. • Kinect has four microphones to pick up audio
- 14. Mode of Transportation : Microsoft Kinect Kinect for Windows SDK • This SDK has been provided by Microsoft for free use and experimentation, without the permission of commercial distribution. SDK contains APIs that allow tracking of people in front of the Kinect and provide coordinates of different bodily joints. • There are APIs that recognize basic and common hand gestures like grip, release, etc. • Speech APIs are provided to capture sound and program them for use.

Development would occur in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, using C# programming language.”

Acoustic Model probabilistic models which makes try to build connection between voice utterances and its transcriptions present in training data 2. Language Model #monogram, #bigram, #trigram not much in our case 3. Mapping Dictionary grapheme to phoneme
- 19. Mode of Transportation : Speech Recognition Current Challenges 1. Large variability in accents 2. Variability in gender 3. Surrounding noise 4. So many names of cities and places
- 20. Mode of Transportation : Speech Recognition Development Tools 1. Microsoft speech SDK 5.1 Preferable to work Microsoft Kinect
- 21. Mode of Transportation : Speech Recognition Development Tools 1. Microsoft speech SDK 5.1 Preferable to work Microsoft Kinect 2. CMU sphinx 0.8 Open Source Toolkit For Speech Recognition

- 23. Discussions & Conclusion 1. Speech input is about 4 times faster than typing 2. Touch interaction on vertical screen can cause Gorilla Arm effect 3. Free hand gesture has been used previously also for navigation systems 4. Assumption of improved ease of use by integration these two modalities 5. Need to have training corpus for Indian accent users for ASR system 6. Need to define variables
