Gesture based interaction for in situ visualization

The term Augmented Vision (AV) describes the insertion of additional digital content into the visual perception. The goal is to support people with context aware information without distracting them from their tasks.
In this CeBIT 2009 demonstrator, our novel 3D hand recognition system serves as a natural interaction device applied on the example of a maintenance task. Our vision based system not only computes the 3D position of the user's hand in real time, but also recognises his/her gestures, allowing an intuitive interaction with a complex machine - here an industrial pump. The user can easily get information about the pump's state by pointing to one of the parts and grabbing the information in form of state indicators and graphical information.
This demonstrator has been developed whithin the scope of the BMBF project AVILUS+.
