The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the influence that a water dome has on a person. The following approach was used for this study: ( I ) A water display was used as a projection screen; ( 2 ) The illusion of being under water was created; and (3) Experiments with water domes of various sizes were carried out. Water display is a head mounted type water membrane. When the display is ...

This study investigates the communicational role that iconic hand gestures (see McNeill 1985) play in everyday talk. When we talk about iconic gestures, we are referring to very special sorts of hand movements, which most people produce unconsciously, and which seem to convey meaning associated with the content of spontaneous speech. Iconic gestures must be distinguished from all other types of...

This work presents a novel approach to gesture recognition system using accelerometer MEMS sensor in addition with ultrasonic obstacle detection. Gesture recognition has been extensively investigated and has traditionally been accomplished by methods based on joystick and camera based vision where camera is always tracking the movement of different body parts like face, eye etc. In our research...

New technologies emerge in response to the passage of time. Robotic hand gesture control is one them. Collaboration frameworks based on gestures are becoming increasingly popular business and at home. The approach we suggested can greatly reduce utilization hardware components such as a keyboard mouse. goal this research create system that recognize use them an input command connect with comput...

This paper introduces an interval fuzzy rule-based method for the recognition of hand gestures acquired from a data glove, with an application to the recognition of hand gestures of the Brazilian Sign Language. To deal with the uncertainties in the data provided by the data glove, an approach based on interval fuzzy logic is used. The method uses the set of angles of finger joints for the class...

Perceptual user interfaces are becoming important nowadays, because they offer a more natural interaction with the computer via speech recognition, haptics, computer vision techniques and so on. In this paper we present a visual-based interface (VBI) that analyzes users’ facial gestures and motion. This interface works in real-time and gets the images from a conventional webcam. Due to this, it...
