PointPose demo: using a depth camera for finger pose estimation on touch-based mobile devices

Published:06 October 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present PointPose, a prototype that allows finger pose information (tilt and rotation) to be obtained at the point of touch on touch-based mobile device, thus adding to the expressiveness of touch input. PointPose uses a short-range depth sensor viewing the touch screen that provides a point cloud that is used to infer finger pose information. Our prototype is lightweight, does not require any additional tracking, and can be adapted to work with most touch-based mobile devices, making it ideal for prototyping touch-based applications that make use of finger pose information.
