LEAP MOTION CONTROLLER: A VIEW ON INTERACTION MODALITY

Anish A Aziz, Reshma K

Abstract: Changes are the basis for innovations. The types of user interfaces to devices are changing day by day. The users can choose the best input modality. Kinesics based user interfaces, combined with the current techniques impart naturalistic current chance for unambiguous operation, for people who are not comfortable with predominantly used input devices and technology. That is extending the existing system of touch pad, touch screen etc. by the idea of controlling a PC or laptop by sensing human gestures is of great relevance. This is what we were intending to do with the Gesture based PC control using Leap Motion controller. For this purpose we plan to extend the usage of Leap Motion Controller by assigning different gestures as input for performing various operations as we prefer. The device receives hand motion and finger motion as input which uses infrared (IR) ray to determine the position of objects in a delimited space

Keywords: Gesture Based User Interfaces, Leap motion controller, IR Imaging, API.
