Description:

Gesture-based interactions are becoming popular with technologies such as LeapMotion and Kinect in the consumer market. However, identifying good gestures for particular use cases is still a research topic with few accepted norms associating gestures to particular functions.

This project will investigate the development of a hand gesture set (utilising LeapMotion) which is suitable for navigation of a 3D environment. 3D models of buildings are provided as a use case and development within the Unity3D environment is expected for the project.

Type:

Undergraduate

Outcome:

• A tested set of gestures which map to required 3D navigation functions
• An 'accurate' gesture recogniser for the developed gestures
• A Unity3D environment which allows navigation of a 3D building model through the gesture set
