Demo: Interactive Visual Privacy Control with Gestures

Abstract

Built-in cameras of mobile and wearable devices enable a variety of applications such as augmented reality, continuous sensing, and life-logging systems, which bring joy and convenience to human lives. However, being recorded by unauthorized or unnoticed cameras have raised people's concerns about visual privacy. To address this problem, we propose a novel interactive method to control visual privacy. We allow individuals to interact with cameras using static tags and more flexible hand gestures for privacy control. By delivering privacy control messages via visual indicators, devices will automatically perform control operations according to privacy indicators detected and control rules.
