User-defined gestures for augmented reality

Abstract

Recently there has been an increase in research of hand gestures for interaction in the area of Augmented Reality (AR). However this research has focused on developer designed gestures, and little is known about user preference and behavior for gestures in AR. In this paper, we present the results of a guessability study focused on hand gestures in AR. A total of 800 gestures have been elicited for 40 selected tasks from 20 partic-ipants. Using the agreement found among gestures, a user-defined gesture set was created to guide design-ers to achieve consistent user-centered gestures in AR.
