Tiago Gerheim Souza Dias, Marcos Variz, Pedro Jorge, Rui M. Jesus · 2013
Currently, the Web is a powerful channel to store and share personal information, particularly through the several social networks such as Facebook, Twitter or Flickr. These applications are used as privileged tools for communication and information availability. With the proliferation of new devices and with new types of user interfaces that can be used by social networking applications, suitable user interaction methods are becoming even more relevant.In this paper we propose a natural, gesture based, user interface, to interact with a Flickr client application on a Smart TV. The interface is based on a depth sensor and on a image processing method for gestures identification. It can be used to search and browse pictures using only gestures.
