Computer Systems Engineering Thesis Project on Naturalistic Gesture for Ubiquitous Computing

Design of a Naturalistic Gesture Based Input Appliance for Ubiquitous Computing

Abstract:  The coming of the information age, computers have become a necessity of life,

infiltrating all parts of society. Though intended to provide assistance, computers have in themselves, grown to become a major part of the work. They have become the primary focus of attention for many people. Seeking to put computation in the background, ubiquitous computing is now a major movement in the computing industry. Computing of the future will incorporate a variety of different devices. These devices will interact in an ad hoc network to help users accomplish their tasks. Along with speech and handwriting, gesture recognition devices will be used to allow people to interact in a natural way with their environment. Gestures are an integral part of the human thought process.

This thesis has successfully produced a small ring and bracelet device with the ability to identify between a number of basic gestures using neural networks. Presently, with manually indicated segmentation, results have shown recognition to be approximately 96% accurate. Future work aims to make the device wireless and the network recurrent, further extending its abilities.
