Japanese Researchers Demonstrate Cellphone Gesture Recognition
Interface technology experiments are fascinating. True, almost none of them pan out, but it’s still fun to see what sort of ideas people come up with. Take for example a recent demonstration by researchers at the Ishikiawa Komuro Laboratory, University of Tokyo, where users can interface with a cell phone with a simple wag of their finger. The technology is built around a high speed camera, running at 154 frames per second, which captures finger position and movement in 3D, and translates it, using a “Lucas-Kanade Algorithm”, into actions
