The rapid development of technology such as virtual reality and augmented reality, coupled
with the reduced direct contact due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to the emergence of …

The established way of interfacing with most computer systems is a mouse and keyboard.
Hand gestures are an intuitive and effective touchless way to interact with computer systems …

Text entry takes an important role of effectively delivering the intention of users to computers,

In this paper, we introduce GesPlayer, a gesture-based empowered video player that
explores how users can experience their hands as an interface through gestures. We …

Mid-air hand interaction has long been proposed as a 'natural'input method for Augmented
Reality (AR) systems. Current AR Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) have a limited area for …

This paper addresses the detection of 3D hand pointing direction from RGB-D data by a
mobile robot. Considering ubiquitous forms of pointing gestures, the 3D pointing direction is …

Accurate and reliable gesture recognition is a central problem in human-computer
interaction (HCI). Many applications that make use of gesture recognition call for mobile …

In this thesis, human-guided appearance-based object cognition in robots is addressed.
Here, the robot observes the human pointing to the object of interest based on the incoming …

Recent advances in affordable sensing technologies have enabled motion-based
interaction (MbI) for head-mounted displays (HMDs). Unlike traditional input devices like the …
