Interaction with a Web browser through gestures
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This aim of this article is to present a new way to interact with a personal computer. Thus, a user can use a webcam and hand gestures to give commands when using a common web browser like Internet Explorer. After a training process of the application, where it is learned what means postures palm, two fingers or fist, it uses the AdaBoost algorithm to classify a hand posture received from the user in real time. Combining posture identified with posture trajectory, we obtain the command that gives the user to browser. Implemented operations allow us to perform vertical scroll, zoom in and zoom out, jump between active windows, jump between options and to select an option. The results so far are encouraging and we hope that in future this kind of interaction will be increasingly used.
