| Abstract | With the advent of new gaming technologies, hand gestures are gaining popularity as an effective communication channel for human computer interaction (HCI). This is particularly relevant for patients recovering from mobility-related injuries or debilitating conditions who use gesture-based gaming for rehabilitation therapy. Unfortunately, most gesture-based gaming systems are designed for able-bodied users and are difficult and costly to adapt to people with upper extremity mobility impairments. While interface customization is an active area of work in assistive technologies (AT), there is no existing formal and analytical grounded methodology to adapt gesture-based control systems for quadriplegics. The goal of this work is to solve this hurdle by developing a mathematical framework to project the patterns of gestural behavior designed for existing gesture systems to those exhibited by quadriplegic subjects due to spinal cord injury (SCI). A key component of our framework relied on Laban movement analysis (LMA) theory, and consisted of four steps: acquiring and preprocessing gesture trajectories, extracting feature vectors, training transform functions, and generating constrained gestures. The feasibility of this framework was validated through user-based experimental paradigms and subject validation. It was found that 100% of gestures selected by subjects with high-level SCIs came from the constrained gesture set. Even for the low-level quadriplegic subject, the alternative gestures were preferred. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
