Towards gestural understanding for intelligent robots
… such gestures to offer an intuitive interface. Gestural understanding is, therefore, a key capability on the way to intelligent robots. This book deals with vision-based approaches for gestural understanding. Over the past two decades, this has been an intensive field of research which has …

Models for rested touchless gestural interaction.
Touchless mid-air gestural interaction has gained mainstream attention with the emergence of off-the-shelf commodity devices such as the Leap Motion and the Xbox Kinect. One of the issues with this form of interaction is fatigue, a problem colloquially known as the "Gorilla Arm Syndrome.'' However, …

Gestural overlap of stop-consonant sequences
… acoustic analysis were translated into general gestural timing estimates. From these estimates, a set of possible principles was derived. Both the general gestural estimates and the derived principles were verified and refined through quasi-articulatory synthesis using HLsyn. Perception tests …

A gestural human computer interface for Smart Health
… objective of this thesis is to design a low cost gestural human computer interface for the recognition of vigorous gestures. We demonstrate that an action vocabulary of eight intuitive gestures can be recognized by the use of inexpensive accelerometers and a computationally simple approach …

Machine-Learning-Enabled Gestural Interaction in Mixed Reality
… of the preventive factors. The thesis focuses on gestural interactions that do not require the use of controllers and are instead performed with bare hands. However, gestural interactions in MR are still in their infancy, with potential for exploration and development. The direction of gestural …

GALiCA: A Gestural Approach to Live Coding Algorithms
… to live coding differs greatly from that of gestural music, in which performers leverage extensive embodied knowledge of their instrument. These two domains, which each provide unique tools for musical creativity and expressivity, are often performed separately. This thesis considers the …

OnObject : programming of physical objects for gestural interaction
… novice end users to turn everyday objects into gestural interfaces through the simple act of tagging. Wearing a sensing device, a user adds a behavior to a tagged object by grabbing the object, demonstrating a trigger gesture, and specifying a desired response. Following this simple …

A graphical environment for gestural computer-aided composition
I have designed and implemented a software environment, a Windows application called Hyperscore, that presents a novel, easy-to-learn interface for composing richly textured music through line gestures. The program allows the user to command a set of music-manipulation algorithms written by Mary …

Topobo : a gestural design tool with kinetic memory
… themselves. This thesis introduces Topobo, a gestural design tool embedded with kinetic memory--the ability to record, playback, and transform physical motion in three dimensional space. As a set of kinetic building blocks, Topobo records and repeats the body's gesture while the system's …

Cinema Fabriqué : a gestural environment for realtime video performance
This thesis presents an environment that enables a single person to improvise video and audio programming in real time through gesture control. The goal of this system is to provide the means to compose and edit video stories for a live audience with an interface that is exposed and engaging to …

Interactively designing robots in mixed reality using gestural control
… own hands as the system is trained to track gestural control. Intuitive motions allow for fluid assembly and modifications. Throughout the design process, our work provides the capability of connecting to software to optimize robots for the given terrain. Once users are satisfied with the …

Multi-modal mixing : gestural control for musical mixing systems
The hi-end tools available to today's sound designers give them almost limitless control over audio processing. Devices such as Yamaha's new digital mixers and Digidesign's Pro-Tools computerized editing workstations allow users in a small studio to accomplish tasks which would have required racks …

An introduction to some recent developments in gestural musical instruments
… of instruments I have chosen to refer to as "gestural instruments"- mainly electronic instruments which can map the performer's gesture to musical output in a variety of ways. In this thesis, I provide an overview of several gestural instruments of the last twenty years, showing some of the …

AMPHORM : form giving through gestural interaction to shape changing objects
Shape-shifting materials have been part of sci-fi literature for decades. But if tomorrow we invent them, how are we going to communicate to them what shape we want them to morph into? If we look at our history, for thousands of years humans have been using the dexterity of their hands as primary …

Compact and low-power computational 3D sensors for gestural input
… using the space around the device for touchless gestural input to devices with small or no displays. Capturing gestural input in this volume requires localization of the human hand in 3D. We present a real-time system for doing so as a culmination of an exploration of novel methods for 3D …

The Role of Facial Gestural Information in Supporting Perceptual Learning of Degraded Speech
… enhanced by the provision of naturalistic facial gestural information, presented concurrently with either the clear auditory sentence (Experiment I), or with the degraded utterance (Experiment II). Recorded materials were noise-vocoded (4 frequency channels; 50- 8000 Hz). Noise-vocoding (NV) is a …

Gestural patterns: a new method of printed textile design using motion capture technology
… motion sensing and motion tracking to generate gestural motifs and gestural patterns. This thesis and the accompanying set of experimental work demonstrates that HPS culminates in developing new aesthetics through a new mode of creation in a new medium, which will impact the user, the designer …

Gestural minimalism : developing a pictorial model in light of Deleuzoguattarian and enactive theories
… static and dynamic approaches – that I call gestural minimalism. I first discuss antecedents of non-representation in painting by introducing the use of Euclidean geometry in abstract painting during early 20th century. This leads to a discussion about different conceptions of pictorial …
