Design of a Portable Gesture-Controlled Information Display
Workshop Gesture-based Interaction Design: Communication and Cognition. In conjunction with 32nd SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. Toronto, Canada, April 26 - May 1, 2014. ACM, New York, NY, USA.

Stopping by at somebodyâs office can be frustrating if the required person is absent. To offer visitors additional information in this case, we built a gesture controlled public display. We applied a user-centered design approach and as first step evaluated basic parameters, such as desired tracking area and preferred gestures. We incorporated these results in a standalone working prototype and achieved natural, intuitive gestures with a recognition rate above 80%.
