Evaluating Natural Interaction with a Shop Window

Abstract

This paper describes the evaluation of two interaction modalities for Active Fashion, the first prototype of system designed for providing interactively information about dresses shown on mannequins in a shop window. Using the system the user may look at available sizes, colors, price and similar products. Due to the nature of such a system, the interaction must be touch-less and natural. The developed solutions use Microsoft Kinect 2 as a device. The first modality is based on gestures while the second one is based on gaze pointing. Evaluation results show that even if the interaction did not result completely satisfying from the control point of view, users prefer the gaze-based approach and felt positively engaged during the interaction.
