A novel gesture-based interface for crime scene investigation in mediated reality

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel gesture-based interface for crime scene investigation. The interface is part of a mediated reality system in which remote collaboration is supported. Requirements elicited from interviews and interactive sessions showed that our gesture-based user interface is effective in operating a 3D interface and allows the user to interact with a crime scene. We report on the design of the mediated reality system and the evaluation of the gesture-based interface. The results show that the gesture-based interface is easy to use and to learn.
