Gesture Cube - Interaction with Cubes

Project Description

The goal of the project is to build and develop a cube for human-computer interaction by using the affordance of a physical cube. It is to be evaluated with gestures are meaningful. Measurement and data processing is done by Particles hardware integrated invisible and unobtrusive in the cube itself. Acceleration sensors measure gravity and forces exerted on the cube. In a first step, data is to be collected and preprocessed for a machine learning approach. After off-line learning on a standard personal computer, on-line and near real-time recognition of a fixed set of gestures is envisioned. The set of gestures was identified by conducting a user study where people were handed the cube and asked what they would do with this three-dimensional physical object. In addition, a demonstrator application visualizing the state on the cube is developed, as well as a data capture tool. The final application will be capable of detecting a fixed set of gestures and use the Gesture Cube as tangible user interface (TUI).

The finished project thesis can be accessed on the technical reports page.
