3D HCI: An Human Computer Interface System using 3D Leap Motion Camera

In last few years, many researchers and organizations are interested to provide more natural, human-oriented means of interacting with computers. A particularly vital field of that trend is hand gesture recognition. These systems have received great attention in the recent few years because of their countless applications such as gaming, robotics, education, physical therapy etc. In this paper we present our implementation of using a motion controller to control the motion of a robot via simple human gestures. We have used the Leap motion camera and robot is connected to the ground station and the Leap is connected to the ground station via USB port. The leap Motion Camera recognizes the hand gestures and relays it on to the ground station. The ground station runs the software for interaction with the robot in order to convey the simple hand gestures. In our implementation, we have written codes to interpret the hand gestures captured by the LEAP Camera, and transmit them in order to control the motion of the robot. Also we present our implementation in the field of gaming in which we are going to control the game with the help of hand gesture.
