Title
Pointing gesture-based interaction for museum exhibits
Abstract
This paper describes a Mixed Reality-supported interactive museum exhibit. Using an easy and intuitive pointing gesture recognition system, the museum visitor is able to create his/her own exhibit choosing between different artists or between different images and explore them in real-time. The usage of a video-based gesture tracking system ensures seamless integration of Mixed Reality technologies into a traditional museum's environment. Furthermore, it addresses even technically unversed users since no additional physical devices are needed and even no training phase is necessary for the interaction.
