Design of an interactive smart board using kinect sensor

Abstract

Interactive smart board is emerging as a reality all around the globe with the advancement in technology. Our goal is to make a cost efficient interactive smart board with the aid of XBox 360 Kinect Sensor which will recognize and process gesture as well as voice to implement the Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) methodology. The system will allow a user to fully control the mouse of a computer using only their hands. Furthermore, different predefined gestures can be used to trigger key press of a keyboard. This functionality may be useful in a wide variety of applications like changing slides using gesture while conducting a PowerPoint presentation or such. Moreover, certain voice commands will be available to make the system more effective and convenient to use.
