Intuitive NUI for Controlling Virtual Objects Based on Hand Movements

Natural user interfaces (NUIs) have attracted considerable research attention, and they are increasingly being applied in various fields. NUIs afford more intuitive user inputs than existing UIs. This study proposes an approach to recognize arm motions for intuitive control of an object in a virtual environment. Kinect is used for virtual object control system. For an experimental test, a virtual room is created and the Smart Interior NUI is implemented for arranging furniture.
