Project Details

This presentation is a real-time human gesture recognition system. 
 
A realtime video stream is analyzed by a recognition module. Without aid of tracking sensors or cables on the subject's body, the holographic processing module generates a vector representation of the gesture. The analyzed reconstruction is then useful for mapping onto animated characters such as in entertainment applications.
