Abstract

The paper describes the development of prototype wheelchair platform controlled by the gestures. Leap Motion Controller is used to acquire data while changing the hand position. The novel user interface was developed, which shows the hand position to the user and combines the classical button GUI switchboard. The developed system is cloud based and integrates speech recognition to engage the motion controller as well as to control the entire platform if needed. The entire software was developed with JavaScript/ECMA Script.
