Gesture Interaction in the Lirkis Cave Based on Emg and Kinect Sensor

Abstract

The article deals with the possibilities of interaction in the virtual environment (VE) of the CAVE LIRKIS system. Commonly available peripherals are keyboard, mouse or gamepad. However, these do not provide a sufficient level of immersion, such as hand gestures. The MYO armband has proven to be one of the potential devices for improving interaction. Therefore, a system for editing an object transformation in VE was created using hand gestures and movements. Enhancing the natural user interface (NUI) of the system with additional interaction capabilities has proven the device to be suitable also for further development.
