Integration of Hand Gesture and Multi Touch Gesture with Glove Type Device

Hayato Takahashi, Yuhki Kitazono · 2016

In this study, we aimed to integrate multi-touch gesture with hand gesture and make new input method. Multi-touch gesture and hand gesture have been studied separately, however, these could be integrated, and it would be new interaction way for computer. We made a large scale multi-touch screen by FTIR method that uses infrared ray to detect the touched point, and a hand gesture recognition device with sensors, pressure sensor and bend sensor. In the end, we integrated the input information to interact with computer. User can input coordinate by touching, and simultaneously input action by performing hand gesture. For instance, user can select target by touching, and then make an action on target by clicking the pressure sensor or bending the bend sensor. We demonstrated the input method on GUI application.
