Summary:
Several application areas (virtual and augmented reality, medical and industrial applications, machine control for disabled peple to name a few) need novel human-machine interfaces to be able to express the required complex command set or to adapt to special needs. One of the ambitious solutions is control via hand gestures. We have recently developed a set of algorithms which solve the task of tracking a human finger in ordinary visual conditions for the replacement of the conventional mouse. In order to utilize the algorithm successfully we had the challenge to design it such a way that it is able to run smoothly in a real-time environment. The only viable alternative was to do it via a spatio-temporal algorithm on a cellular wave computer. In this paper we present measurements of this algorithm implemented on some current cellular wave computer platforms and investigate the properties, representative parameters, limits of it.
