Abstract
Traditional motion-capture systems have found widespread use in content creation in the entertainment industry. However, their use as real-time user-input devices has been limited by their expense. In this thesis work, we propose an easy-to-use and inexpensive system that facilitates 3-D articulated user-input using the hands, enabling new user-interfaces and applications. Our system optically tracks an ordinary cloth glove that is imprinted with a custom pattern. Observing a custom pattern simplifies the pose estimation problem, allowing us to eschew computationally demanding inference algorithms in favor of a simple and fast nearest-neighbor approach. We investigate optimal design of the cloth pattern as well as possible applications for our system.
