Pointing in Intelligent Environments with the WorldCursor
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce the WorldCursor, a pointing device and cursor designed for intelligent environments. The WorldCursor is analogous to the mouse and cursor used in traditional GUIs: the user may select and interact with a physical device by positioning the cursor on the device and clicking. We use the XWand (Wilson, 2003) as a physical pointing mechanism, and couple it with the WorldCursor device which projects a cursor on the physical environment. The WorldCursor improves upon the XWand by removing the need for external positioning technology such as video cameras. We detail the device and signal processing algorithms, and discuss its application in intelligent environments.

متن کاملIntelligent Mapping
This paper is directed to the question of how to model and design an efficient tool for the intelligent mapping which is based on both dynamic and efficient storage of data and soft computing. The former is performed by our method that learns how to store, search and delete the data. After pointing out the limitation of the crisp evaluation of the distance between two points, we argue in favor ...

An experiment is reported that extends earlier work on the enhancement of eye pointing in 2D environments, through the addition of a zoom facility, to its use in virtual 3D environments using a similar enhancement. A comparison between hand pointing and eye pointing without any enhancement shows a performance advantage for hand based pointing. However, the addition of a ‘fly’ or ‘zoom’ enhancem...
متن کاملRobot-Supported Pointing Interaction for Intelligent Environments
A natural interaction with appliances in smart environment is a highly desired form of controlling the surroundings using intuitively learned interpersonal means of communication. Hand and arm gestures, recognized by depth cameras, are a popular representative of this interaction paradigm. However they usually require stationary units that limit applicability in larger environments. To overcome...
متن کاملGesture recognition using the XWand
The XWand is a wireless UI device that enables styles of natural interaction with intelligent environments. The XWand system exploits human intuition, allowing control of everyday objects through pointing and gesturing. We describe the hardware device and then examine several approaches to gesture recognition. We discuss results from experiments using a linear time warping method, a dynamic tim...
