Gesture Recognition for Automotive Applications (GRAAppl)

新的传感器技术正在改变用户与周围产品互动的体验。手势识别（HGR）提供了一种以直观和自然的方式与技术交互的新方法。HGR的潜在应用非常广泛，从智能电视到医疗保健和移动设备。然而，汽车行业对HGR非常感兴趣，因为它可以帮助缓解驾驶员注意力分散的问题，即驾驶员将注意力从道路上转移到车内系统上。该项目的目的是通过创建和评估针对汽车应用的交互式演示器，探索革命性低成本HGR技术的可行性。利用现有的以用户为中心的评估技术，该技术将在模拟驾驶环境中进行评估，提供有关系统对驾驶员表现影响的详细数据。项目结果将用于向潜在伙伴展示产品的有效性和改进技术的有效性。

New sensor technologies are changing the users' experience of interaction with the products around us. Hand Gesture Recognition (HGR) offers a new way of interacting with technologies in intuitive and naturalistic ways. The potential applications for HGR are broad, ranging from Smart TVs to healthcare and mobile devices. However, there is significant interest from the automotive industry where HGR can help to alleviate the problem of driver distraction, caused by diverting attention away from the road to operate in-car systems. The aim of this project is to explore the feasibility of a revolutionary low-cost HGR technology, through the creation and evaluation of an interactive demonstrator targeted at automotive applications. Using established user-centred evlauation techniques, the technology will be evaluated in a simulated driving environment, providing detailed data on the effects of the system on driver performance. The project findings will be used both to demonstrate the effectiveness of the product to potential partners and to improve the effectiveness of the technology.
