Abstract

(Semi-)immersive displays like back projection wallshave become widely used in various visual domains. Despitethe superior image quality of ýthrough-the-windowsVRý users are still not satisfied with the interaction capabilities驴 mostly due to the extra wiring for the interaction devices.This paper represents a hand gesture interaction systemfor a back-projection wall environment, supporting objectmanipulation (translation, rotation, and uniform scale)and selection tasks through the vision-tracking technique.We propose to use thimble-shaped fingertip markers madeof white printing paper with a ýblack lightý source. Gestureparameters are calculated by 3D positions of the markedfingertips and their pinching states.
