In order to understand
the whole process of this
gesture based
technology interaction,
we need to understand
its core components
There are two main
elements:

Gesture recognition
(Algorithms/software/uses)

Technology
(hardware/input devices)
•Gesture Recognition is a combination of two
field of research, computer science and
language technology with the goal of
interpreting human gestures via
mathematical algorithms. Gestures can
originate from any bodily motion or state but
commonly originate from the face or hand.
Current focuses in the field include emotion
recognition from the face and hand gesture
recognition. Many approaches have been
made using cameras and computer vision
algorithms to interpret sign language.

Depth-aware cameras

Stereo cameras (3D)

Controller-based
gestures (Nintendo
Wii, Play station
move)

Single camera
(Simple gesture
recognition)

Microsoft's Kinect for Xbox 360 opts to get rid of
buttons altogether, relying on body gestures and
voice commands. As the (estimated to be $500
million) ad campaign says, "you are the controller"
 At the Microsoft E3 press conference, that the sensor then known as Project Natal made
its official debut. Since then Project Natal (Kinect) gone through various stages of
development ever since, so much so that by the time the original 3D breakout title
made it into the bundled Kinect Adventures title (c.f. Rallyball).

All the pieces started falling into place in June 2010, when Microsoft ceremoniously
unveiled the final name that's "Kinect," and its November 4th release date. The final
price ($149 standalone, $299 with 4G Xbox 360). So, here we are.
• The Kinect dashboard can be navigated
two ways, through either voice or hand
gestures, though both have their
limitations.

Gesture Based Control

Voice control

Kinect can be used in medical treatment
for gesture control of medical images

Kinect can be used as a universal remote.

Kinect can be used to project Virtual reality.

Kinect finally fulfills its Minority Report
destiny

Two Kinects join forces to create better 3D
video
•
Kinect is used with medical equipment that
allow doctors to swirling medical images
around with hand gestures
Kinect is been used to control TV through
gestures. Soon in Future TV will have build in
some Kinect’s systems into them directly
A pair of 3D LCD glasses with kinect can send
user to a Virtual Reality World. In which he can
act as if in dream
Kinect can be used to recognize the position of
both your palms and fingers. This let user to
control his/her computer through gestures. This
is the closest thing to Minority Report
Kinect can be used as 3d video recording. It is able to
rotate the camera perspective and basically film from
a new camera angle that exists somewhere in
between the the two Kinects, and do-so in real-time.
• Kinext offer a unique gesture based
control system that totally eliminates the
need of any hardware for a user to control
the technology. It makes user the
controller.
• Kinect kind of technology will become integral part of
all computer and multimedia device in near future.
• Kinect is the best and most idea for the entertainment
based technologies, such as TV, games, and
watching movie on computers.
• Kinect will make user an ultimate remote which can
operate any digital device will his/her normal physical
gesture.
• Kinect with all its glory and cutting edge
technology has one very important flaw:

• Gorilla arm
• "Gorilla arm" was a side-effect that destroyed
vertically-oriented touch-screens as a mainstream
input technology despite a promising start in the
early 1980s.
• Human can not function for long time, waving hands
in air because this makes there hand tired. So any
thing that let user operate in vertical direction (touch
screens or gesture) are NOT work efficient.
• This means that for normal offices the mouse and
keyboards will still be the champions.
• Kinect may change entertainment but not the
corporate, business and office way of work.
WE THANK YOU ALL

• Any Questions Please!
