Interaction is achieved by observing, through a stereo camera set-up, the motion of a user’s hands. This motion is then translated into 3-dimensional (3-D) coordinates to enable interaction with either a traditional 2-dimensional (2-D) desktop or a novel 3-D user interface. The aim of this work is to provide an intuitive method of interaction to computer based applications for individuals whose condition might restrict their ability to use a standard keyboard/mouse. 1.
