“…Thus the user is able to perceive a stereoscopic image in a fixed area called sweet spot. When the AS display features, for instance, an optical head tracker, the user can even move in front of the display, while the tracking system can be further exploited to allow gesture-based interaction [11]. However, the separation of the stereo half images performed by an AS display (see Section 3.1) influences viewing of monoscopic content in such a way that essential elements of the GUI are distorted.…”

Abstract. Desktop environments represent a powerful user interface and have been used as the de facto standard human-computer interaction paradigm for over 20 years. But the rising demand of 3D applications dealing with complex datasets exceeds the capabilities of traditional interaction devices and two-dimensional displays. Such applications need more immersive and intuitive interfaces. In order to be accepted by the users, technology-driven solutions that require inconvenient instrumentation, e.g., stereo glasses or tracked gloves, should be avoided. Autostereoscopic display environments equipped with tracking systems enable humans to experience virtual 3D environments more naturally, for instance via gestures, without having to use annoying devices. However, currently these approaches are used only for specially designed or adapted applications. In this paper we introduce new 3D user interface concepts for such setups which require minimal instrumentation of the user and can be integrated easily in everyday working environments. We propose an interaction framework which supports simultaneous display of and simultaneous interaction with both monoscopic as well as stereoscopic contents. We identify the challenges for combined mouse-, keyboard-and gesture-based input paradigms in such an environment and introduce novel interaction strategies.

“…A number of applications related to gesture recognition are designed for presenting, pointing, virtual workbenches, VR etc. Gesture input can be categorized into different ways [2]. One of the types is deictic gestures which refer to pointing an object or reaching for something.…”

Human Computer Interaction can acquire several advantages with the introduction of different natural forms of device free communication. Gestures are a natural form of actions which we often use in our daily life for interaction, therefore to use it as a communication medium with computers generates a new paradigm of interaction with computers. This paper implements computer vision and gesture recognition techniques and develops a vision based low cost input device for controlling the VLC player through gestures. VLC application consists of a central computational module which uses the Principal Component Analysis for gesture images and finds the feature vectors of the gesture and save it into a XML file. The Recognition of the gesture is done by K Nearest Neighbour algorithm. The theoretical analysis of the approach shows how to do recognition in static background. The Training Images are made by cropping the hand gesture from static background by detecting the hand motion using Lucas Kanade Pyramidical Optical Flow algorithm. This hand gesture recognition technique will not only replace the use of mouse to control the VLC player but also provide different gesture vocabulary which will be useful in controlling the application.

The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This paper presents the concept, working prototype and design space of a two-handed, hybrid spatial user interface for desktop VR targeted at users where a minimally immersive, desktop VR system is appropriate. The user interface supports dual button balls (6DOF isotonic controllers with multiple buttons) which automatically switch between 6DOF mode (xyz + roll,pitch,yaw), and planar-3DOF mode (xy + yaw) upon contacting the desktop. The mode switch automatically switches a button ball's visual representation between a 3D cursor and a mouse-like 2D REPORT DATE (DD-MM-YYYY)4. TITLE AND SUBTITLE 13.

The user interface supports dual button balls (6DOF isotonic controllers with multiple buttons) which automatically switch between 6DOF mode (xyz + roll,pitch,yaw), and planar-3DOF mode (xy + yaw) upon contacting the desktop. The mode switch automatically switches a button ball's visual representation between a 3D cursor and a mouse-like 2D cursor while also switching the available user interaction techniques (ITs) between 3D and 2D IT's. Further, the small form factor of the button ball allows the user to engage in 2D multi-touch or 3D gestures without releasing and re-acquiring the device. We call the device and hybrid interface the HyFinBall interface which is an abbreviation for 'Hybrid Finger Ball.' We describe the user interface (hardware and software), the design space, as well as preliminary results of a formal user study. This is done in the context of a rich, visual analytics interface containing coordinated views with 2D and 3D visualizations and interactions.
