Objectives

The CNRS-LIMSI is involved in gestures recognition and interpretation since severals years in various domains: Sign Language translation, multimodal interactions, etc. In Virtual Reality, we have focused firstly on the achievement of a recognition system which allows gestural interactions in real time. This recognition system has been implemented as a module for the EVI3d platform. Thus, every application built with this platform can use gestural interactions.

Main Results

-Scientific results: -PhD thesis (finishing): Bruno Bossard: gestures recogntion, multichannel architecture, virtual reality, sign language. (2005) -Master thesis B. Colin: gestural language, spatial context, iconic gestures, 3D interaction, virtual reality. (2004) -Demonstrators -BIS Platform: prototype for recognition of two-handed gestures and detection of spatial/temporal relationships between hands. -Iconic gestures: demonstrator for the use of Sign Language gestures in virtual reality.

-Applicative results: Software modules for the VEserver of the EVI3d platform (see dedicated forms of CNRS-LIMSI) which allow the recording, the learning and the recognition of gestures. The recognition module allow the user to interact in real time with the virtual world.
