Integration of Wireless Gesture Tracking, Object Tracking, and 3D Reconstruction in the Perceptive Workbench
B. Leibe, D. Minnen, J. Weeks, and T. Starner
2nd International Workshop on Computer Vision Systems (ICVS 2001)
Vancouver, Canada, July 2001
Abstract
The Perceptive Workbench endeavors to create a spontaneous and
unimpeded interface between the physical and virtual worlds. Its
vision-based methods for interaction constitute an alternative to
wired input devices and tethered tracking. Objects are recognized and
tracked when placed on the display surface. By using multiple infrared
light sources, the object\u2019s 3D shape can be captured and inserted
into the virtual interface. This ability permits spontaneity since
either preloaded objects or those objects selected at run-time by the
user can become physical icons. Integrated into the same vision-based
interface is the ability to identify 3D hand position, pointing
direction, and sweeping arm gestures. Such gestures can enhance
selection, manipulation, and navigation tasks. In previous
publications, the Perceptive Workbench has demonstrated its utility
for a variety of applications, including augmented reality gaming and
terrain navigation. This paper will focus on the implementation and
performance aspects and will introduce recent enhancements to the
system.
