Human-oriented interaction with a TOF sensor

Abstract

As human-oriented computing technologies gain greater importance, people will expect natural interfaces that communicate with various systems. Many researchers have focused on various possibilities. This study used camera interaction as an avenue for improving user experience during presentations. The study was divided into two stages. The first stage analyzed the design principles of human-oriented systems, and implemented a rationale based on related principles. The system can be adopted as the central mechanism in sensing the motion of visitors using a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor, linking the camera space to media content. We demonstrate that the proposed system supplies interactive power for natural interaction and improved usability. The second stage investigated user experience of such an interaction pattern. The results show that the system can be applied as a natural interface between visitors and presentations, providing the audience with a satisfying and pleasurable experience.
