Single-Handed Driving System with Kinect

This paper proposes a Kinect-based system that can help people who have difficulties with moving one of their arms, to drive and control the vehicles with only one hand. The advantage of the system is that only the user’s hands need to be visible, so that users can use the system while seated. Experiments to measure system performance have shown reasonable accuracy. This system can be broadly applied to any wheeled electronic vehicles such as an electronic wheelchair, robot or car in future.
