Desarrollo de un prototipo de un api para la interacción de un usuarío con aplicaciones con contenido 3d utilizando kinect

Abstract

board or mouse is impractical. For that reason this paper describes the development of a prototype of a set of libraries (API) that allows interaction with the computer, using hands and gestures as a way to generate command inputs is presented. The Microsoft Kinect technology is used to develop this project. This depth sensor determines the distance of objects, particularly the position of the person and his hands. Different types of interaction, used by the most common gestures that have been adopted by people in touch interfaces were analyzed. This project ´s API can be used to manipulate three-dimensional objects as building architectural models, cars, furniture, human body, organs, etc. At the end of project implementation proceeded to conduct usability testing. For testing API , an application that uses the API to move a 3D object and a questionnaire, where users were asked to rate their experience on a scale from 1 to 5 according to factors such as comfort, was performed developed the ease of use and accuracy . The analysis of the results showed that the methodology used was correct, making it natural interaction with these objects in 3D.
