Highly Reliable Time-of-Flight L-Shaped Gesture Recognition System.

Abstract

Gesture recognition is a field of study that involves recognizing human movements and gestures through sensors. In this paper, a basic gesture recognition system is proposed that uses three Time-of-Flight (TOF) VL53L0X distance sensors positioned in an L-shape able to recognize gesture through cover glass and up to 40 cm of distance. The system is capable of recognizing four basic gestures: swipe right, swipe left, swipe up and swipe down. This system can be applied in various fields such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Gaming, Virtual Reality (VR) and Robotics, this paper will focus on the implementation and evaluation of the proposed system. The inspiration for the system is to simplify interaction with medical panel PCs and monitors while improving the hygienic aspect of the same, while taking into consideration data privacy.
