ABSTRACT
Can natural interaction requirements be fulfilled while still harnessing the "supernatural" fantasy of Virtual Reality (VR)? In this work we used off the shelf Electromyogram (EMG) sensors as an input device which can afford natural gestures to preform the "supernatural" task of growing your arm in VR. We recorded 18 participants preforming a simple retrieval task in two phases; an initial and a learning phase where the stretch arm was disabled and enabled respectively. The results show that the gestures used in the initial phase are different than the main gestures used to retrieve an object in our system and that the times taken to complete the learning phase are highly variable across participants.

Development of an EMG controlled hand exoskeleton for post-stroke rehabilitation
REHAB '15: Proceedings of the 3rd 2015 Workshop on ICTs for improving Patients Rehabilitation Research TechniquesRehabilitation after stroke is of crucial importance since patients often have severe motor impairments that affect their daily activities. In the past decades, a number of robotic systems have been proposed for stroke rehabilitation but very few of ...
Locomotion by Natural Gestures for Immersive Virtual Environments
AltMM '16: Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Multimedia Alternate RealitiesIn this paper we evaluate methods to move 'naturally' in an Immersive Virtual Environment (IVE) visualised through an Head Mounted Display (HMD). Natural interaction is provided through gesture recognition on depth sensors' data. Gestural input ...
