VSS: The Virtual Sensor System

Abstract

Human Computer Interface still remains a main challenge for successful communication. In the ever changing world of technology, where touch screen devices, tablets, smartphones have been rapidly evolving with the aim to make interaction between man and the machine simple and robust. This has predominately changed the traditional mouse and keyboard interaction. We have designed and implemented a small system called the Virtual Sensor System based on the concept of web service in the middleware C# in .NET using Microsoft WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). It is intended to be an interface between various computing systems and heterogeneous sensors. As a testbed for this system, the gesture recognition system is developed using a Kinect Sensor.
