Interaction in Augmented Reality Environments Using Kinect

Abstract

This paper aims to provide an application that uses gestures to interact with virtual objects in an Augmented Reality application. The application has no major dependencies of the work environment, lighting or users' skin color. To achieve this goal, libraries of particular use for natural interaction and Kinect device, which serves to provide RGB images of the environment and the depth map of the scene were used. The user is allowed to perform operations on menus and manipulation of virtual objects.
