Abstract

In this interactive demonstration we show the usage of an instrumented glove-like device for HMI-Human Machine Interaction applications. We explored the use of distributed accelerometers and vibro-tactile stimulators on the hand. Distributed accelerometers can be used to infer structure and reconstruct 6D pose of nodes, as well as relative motion, although not always fully observable. When combined with vibro-tactile stimulators a hand worn device or glove can provide spacial aware feedback. The interactive demo will present InerTouchHand (iTH), the hand device for gesture recognition and HMI with touch feedback.
