Analysis of clustering techniques to detect hand signs

The term multimedia has a different meaning to different communities. The computer industry uses this term to refer to a system that can display audio and video clips. Generally speaking, a multimedia system supports multiple presentation modes to convey information. Humans have five senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. In theory, a system based on this generalized definition must be able to convey information in support of all senses. This would be a step towards virtual environments that facilitate total recall of an experience. This study builds on our previous work with audio and video servers and explores haptic data in support of touch and motor skills. It investigates the use of clustering techniques to recognize hand signs using haptic data. An application of these results is communication devices for the hearing impaired.
