Xiang Li, Yuzheng Chen, Xiaohang Tang

TL;DR
GesPlayer introduces a gesture-based video player that allows users to control playback, volume, and brightness through semantic hand gestures using a camera, enhancing interaction without traditional input devices.
Contribution
The paper presents a novel gesture-based interface for video control, expanding the use of semantic gestures in interactive environments and exploring hand as an inclusive interface.
Findings
Successful detection of semantic gestures for video control
Enhanced user interaction without traditional input devices
Broadened understanding of gesture-based interaction
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce GesPlayer, a gesture-based empowered video player that explores how users can experience their hands as an interface through gestures. We provide three semantic gestures based on the camera of a computer or other smart device to detect and adjust the progress of video playback, volume, and screen brightness, respectively. Our goal is to enable users to control video playback simply by their gestures in the air, without the need to use a mouse or keyboard, especially when it is not convenient to do so. Ultimately, we hope to expand our understanding of gesture-based interaction by understanding the inclusiveness of designing the hand as an interactive interface, and further broaden the state of semantic gestures in an interactive environment through computational interaction methods.
