Abstract

This paper presents PlusControl, a novel multi-user interaction system for cooperative work with large screen. This system is designed for a use with economic deictic and control gestures in air and it allows free mobility in the environment to the users. PlusControl consists in light worn devices with infrared emitters and Bluetooth accelerometers. In this paper the architecture of the system is presented. A prototype has been developed in order to test and evaluate the system performances. Results show that PlusControl is a valuable tool in cooperative scenarios.
