xstroke: Full-screen Gesture Recognition for X
نویسنده
چکیده
Gesture recognition is a common method of text input on handheld and other pen-based computing devices. Xstroke is a full-screen gesture recognition program for the X Window System. The touchscreen of a typical pen-based device is divided into two regions, a primary region for application display and interaction, and a secondary region for gesture input. Full-screen gesture recognition improves on the typical implementation by sharing the entire screen for both purposes. Applications benefit as more screen real estate is available. Recognition performance improves due to increased information from larger gestures. Usability increases as less time is lost switching attention between two separate screen regions. Full-screen gesture recognition presents several userinterface design challenges. Conventional GUI interaction is pointer driven. This makes it difficult for systems with single-button pointer devices to distinguish between GUI interaction and character input. Several solutions to this problem are examined. The simple feature-based recognition engine at the heart of Xstroke has proven capable of resolving gesture sets of 100 different gestures with up to 95% accuracy. Xstroke is freely available and has become the predominant gesture recognition system for X-based handheld devices.

متن کاملHuman Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition
With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
متن کاملLinear Gesture Recognition and Large Screen Simulation of Gesture Select
To implement Gesture Select, there are two primary technical problems : 1. Linear gesture recognition : Gesture Select needs a robust linear gesture recognizer that supports sufficient gestures. These gestures should be simple enough so that the user response time – the time spent on recognizing and completing the gesture – could be lower than 2.5 seconds. This recognizer should also be stable:...
