Gestures for Natural Interaction with Video
22 January 2012
There is a clear trend to change the current mode of telecommunication toward Immersive Communications. Immersive Communication means that users want to communicate, interact, share and collaborate at distance using sensorial and attentional immersions. As described in [1], the willingness to change the current mode of telecommunication comes from Immersive Communication that enables natural experiences and interactions among people, objects, and environments as if they were collocated, although they may be geographically distributed. Based on this approach and definition, we propose a method enabling natural video interactions (i.e. hand gesture interactions) between users and a video meeting system.
