Abstract :
We are developing an electric wheelchair that can be operated by a gesture interface to support persons with severe disabilities. The non-contact non-constraining gesture interface system recognizes four shoulder states (both shoulders normal, raising right shoulder, raising left shoulder, and raising both shoulders) by using a stereo camera. We expected the system to have a wide range of uses and evaluated its valuation basis.
