“…In human-computer interaction (HCI) studies, sensor-based technologies have been the focus of research on gesture recognition (Benoit, Allevard, Ukegawa, & Sawada, 2003;Lyons, Brashear, Westeyn, Kim, & Starner, 2007), wearable devices for remote health monitoring (Patel. Park, Bonato, Chan, & Rodgers, 2012;Son et al, 2014), and smart home systems (Kühnel et al, 2011).…”

Abstract:Diverse aspects of our everyday lives increasingly feature sensor-based technologies. Despite the importance of understanding how business and consumers exploit and adopt these technologies, the information systems (IS) community has thus far devoted relatively little attention to the topic. Accordingly, in this paper, we foster an exploration of the issue among IS scholars by focusing on the emergent use of sensor-based technologies in the automotive insurance industry. Insurance providers have increasingly begun to turn to such technologies to gain competitive advantage around risk assessment and behavior-based pricing. To investigate this phenomenon, we consider the experiences of two organizations operating distinct national contexts: Progressive Insurance (US) and Generali (Italy). These two insurance providers have been first movers in adopting sensor-based technologies for risk assessment and policy pricing. First, we highlight the key similarities and differences between the cases with regard to the technologies adopted, business models pursued, and anticipated benefits and pitfalls for the companies and their consumers. Second, in a more holistic way, we discuss the implications and unintended consequences of sensorbased technologies in the automotive insurance industry. We formulate several research questions that provide opportunities and encourage more research in this emerging area of study.

“…There is also a recent work called WiSee [7] in which they used wireless signals such as Wifi to perform the recognition so the user does not need to carry any type of device. Kühnel et al [8] did a very complete work about gesture recognition for controlling home appliances. They conduct a survey and found that the majority of the respondents liked the idea of controlling appliances with gestures.…”

Abstract. Most of the previous works in hand gesture recognition focus in increasing the accuracy and robustness of the systems, however little has been done to understand the context in which the gestures are performed, i.e, the same gesture could mean different things depending on the context and situation. Understanding the context may help to build more user-friendly and interactive systems. In this work, we used location information in order to contextualize the gestures. The system constantly identifies the location of the user so when he/she performs a gesture the system can perform an action based on this information.

“…They found that one way to decrease the set of commands is by gesture control in context, i.e., one gesture can activate functions of various applications. Another study that also is concerned with the gestural vocabulary is that of Kühnel et al [24]. The application employs a smartphone and accelerometers as a means of gesture recognition, and can be used for controlling the TV, lamps, window blinds, as well as for interacting with an Electronic Program Guide (EPG).…”

“…questions such as cultural aspects that influence the understanding or appropriateness of gestures within a certain context. Regarding gender-related issues, none of the solutions of Table 1 reported that these were a concern during the earlier stages of development, and only three studies reported at least the number of male or female participants [12,17,24], however without stating whether gender had any influence on testing or subsequent design cycles. We believe that some of these limitations are a result of considering the topics of Table 1 in an isolated manner regarding technology, gestural interaction, and individual/social aspects.…”

“…Furthermore, regarding the "naturalness" or "intuitiveness" of interaction in domotic environments, the use of only deictic gestures also imposes a limitation. Kühnel et al [24] described anthropology as a requirement for computational solutions for domotic environments, not only with respect to gestural interaction, but in a broad context. One of the authors' concerns was the writing direction of the user.…”

Abstract. Applications for the control and automation of residential environments (domotics) are an emerging area of study within HumanComputer Interaction (HCI). One of the related challenges is to design gestural interaction with these applications. This paper explores socio-technical aspects of gestural interaction in intelligent domotic environments. An analysis of literature in the area revealed that some HCI-related aspects are treated in a restricted manner that neglects socio-technical dimensions. We propose a framework for discussing related challenges in an integrated manner, considering the dimensions people, gestural mode of interaction, and domotics. Some of these challenges are addressed by literature outside the area of domotics. Many open research questions remain, e.g. how to design gestural vocabularies that minimize ambiguity and consider cultural and social aspects. The proposed framework might contribute to answering these questions thus to designing meaningful interaction that is intuitive and easy to learn.
