| Abstract | Dynamic hand gestures have become increasingly popular as an input modality for interactive systems. There exists a variety of arm-worn devices for the recognition of hand gestures, which differ not only in their capabilities, but also in the arm positions where they are worn. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of placement of such devices on the accuracy for recognizing dynamic hand gestures (e.g. waving the hand). This is relevant as different devices require different positions and thus differ in the achievable recognition accuracy. We have chosen two positions on the forearm: on the wrist and right below the elbow. These positions are interesing as smartwatches are usually worn on the wrist and devices using EMG sensors for the detection of static hand gestures (e.g. spreading the fingers) have to be worn right below the elbow. We used an LG G Watch worn on the wrist and a Myo armband from Thalmic Labs worn below the elbow. Both are equipped with three-axis accelerometers, which we used for gesture recognition. Our hypothesis was that the wrist-worn device would have a better recognition accuracy, as dynamic hand gestures have a bigger action radius on the wrist and therefore lead to bigger acceleration values. We conducted a comparative study with nine participants that performed eight simple, dynamic gestures on both devices. We tested the 4320 gesture samples with different classifiers and feature sets. Although the recognition results for the wrist-worn device were higher, the difference was not significant due to the substantial variation across participants. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
