Abstract

In this work we provide an open-source framework for Kinect enabling more natural and intuitive hand-gesture communication between human and computer devices. The software package is endowed with useful tools for training the system to work with user-defined postures and gestures. The XKin project is fully implemented in C and freely available at https://github.com/fpeder/XKin under FreeBSD License. Our goal is to encourage contributions from other researchers and developers in building an open and effective system for empowering a natural modality for human-machine interaction.
