KIND-DAMA: A modular middleware for Kinect-like device data management

2018

In the last decades, we have witnessed a growing interest toward touchless gestural user interfaces. Among other reasons, this is due to the large availability of different low-cost gesture acquisition hardware (the so-called “Kinect-like devices”). As a consequence, there is a growing need for solutions that allow to easily integrate such devices within actual systems. In this paper, we present KIND-DAMA, an open and modular middleware that helps in the development of interactive applications based on gestural input. We first review the existing middlewares for gestural data management. Then, we describe the proposed architecture and compare its features against the existing similar so…

Gesture recognition using low-cost devices: Techniques, applications, perspectives

2016

Negli ultimi anni abbiamo assistito ad una grande diffusione dei cosiddetti “Kinect-like devices”, ovvero dispositivi basati su un insieme di sensori a basso costo, che consentono di ottenere un’immagine di profondità della scena ripresa. L’alta accessibilità di questi dispositivi, principalmente in termini di costi, ne ha facilitato la diffusione nell’ambito del riconoscimento dei gesti in numerose applicazioni, sia commerciali che di ricerca. In questo articolo saranno inizialmente illustrati i principi generali su cui si fondano le principali tecniche utilizzate per riconoscere i gesti, sfruttando i dati ottenibili dai dispositivi “Kinect-like”. Successivamente, saranno presentati alcuni…

Designing Touchless Gestural Interactions for Public Displays In-the-Wild

2015

Public displays, typically equipped with touchscreens, are used for interactions in public spaces, such as streets or fairs. Currently low-cost visual sensing technologies, such as Kinect-like devices and high quality cameras, allow to easily implement touchless interfaces. Nevertheless, the arising interactions have not yet been fully investigated for public displays in-the-wild (i.e. in appropriate social contexts where public displays are typically deployed). Different audiences, cultures and social settings strongly affect users and their interactions. Besides gestures for public displays must be guessable to be easy to use for a wide audience. Issues like these could be solved with use…
