Sophisticated 3-D measurement technology permits gesture-based human-machine interaction in real time

As gesture control represents a seamless interface between humans and

a

machines, more and more machines, robots and devices are able to respond

to gestural cues. Researchers at Fraunhofer IOF in Jena are raising human-machine interaction to a new level: the high-speed 3-D measurement and sensor technology developed in the 3-D-LivingLab research project (see "3-D-LivingLab" box) enables them to capture and interprete even complex movements – and does so in real time. At Hannover Messe 2019, the research team is demonstrating its gesture-based human-machine interaction technology using the example of a wall made up of 150 spheres, which copies in 3-D every head, arm and hand movement of a person standing in front of it. The wall of spheres effectively imitates the body movements with contact-free 3-D reactions in real time, free from irritating time lags. The wall of spheres was created as part of the "3-D-LivingLab" project.
