Abstract

We present a robust vision-based technology for hand and finger detection and tracking that can be used in many CHI scenarios. The method can be used in real-life setups and does not assume any predefined conditions. Moreover, it does not require any additional expensive hardware. It fits well into user's environment without major changes and hence can be used in ambient intelligence paradigm. Another contribution is the interaction using glass which is a natural, yet challenging environment to interact with. We introduce the concept of "invisible information layer" embedded into normal window glass that is used as an interaction medium thereafter.
