Introduction

● The focus is on the hand gestures detection and augmented reality area .

● We want to develop and implement new algorithms for detecting hand gestures for natural interaction with computer systems and augmented reality.

● We want to develop an augmented reality prototype to display maps and directions where natural interaction methods based on hand gestures are implemented.

what is Human Computer Interaction?

HCI is the way a person interacts with a computer, it can be with a mouse, a keyboard, the screen, touchpads, trackballs, and also using gestures.

What is augmented reality?

Add information to the reality we see to know more about the things.

Aplications

What is gesture detection?

Use a computer to understand the gestures being made by a person, it can be done using computer vision, sensors, markers,...

Hand gesture interaction

Sixthsense

Computer vision

computational techniques to process images

Current work

We create a computer program capable of detect hand signs and use the sign detected to comunicate with other devices like a GPS or a LEGO robot
