Tiivistelmä
Gesture-based interaction in consumer electronics is becoming more popular these days, for example, when playing games with Microsoft Kinect, PlayStation 3 Move and Nintendo Wii. The objective of this thesis was to find out how to use gaze and hand gestures for manipulating objects in a 3D space for the best user experience possible.
This thesis was made at the University of Oulu, Center for Internet Excellence and was a part of the research project “Chiru”. The goal was to research and produce user interface techniques for handling 3D objects, and create a user interface for testing and calibrating the gestures.
The physical tools used were a hand held accelerometer-gyroscope and a camera for the gaze tracking. The work was done on Linux-based Ubuntu 11.04 and the gestures were implemented on an open source 3D platform RealXtend.
The main result was a customizable UI made in JavaScript for testing the gestures and finding problems in their usability as well as solutions for improvement.
