Abstract

Now we display information everywhere, but ceiling is the last place we haven't used extensively. A ceiling at home, an overhead surface ordinarily used for structural and aesthetic purpose and less used compared to other interior surfaces, is expected to be a perfect screen when people lay on the bed. In this paper, we present Hands-Up system, our novel way to utilize ceiling to display information and to interact with by using Microsoft Kinect, which could give commands to the computer through a minimum hands motion. The Hands-Up system has been created by a combination of the specific situation on the bed and a smart device, Kinect, which can read human movements. We made a prototype and designed User Interface (UI) suitable for the system.
