gesture recognition in virtual reality

Computer interpretation of hand configurations and facial expressions is, even now, underway and will likely lead the formation of optical information transmission from humans to computers. Gesture recognition is based on computer operating and three-dimensional modeling of the configuration of the hands, arms, and face. This put togethers conceptual components from anatomy, kinesiology, and human vision. Human gestures can be recorded through a computer directly through a mechanical glove or indirectly via the optical interpretation of video pictures. There is considerable potential for further development of optical measurement of lip, facial, eye, head, hand, and body motion. Significant obstacles remain. Computers cannot now monitor things that are obscured from the line of vision by other things, insufficiently lit, or too challenging. Future generation formation of methods to translate optical pictures into virtual three-dimensional things should create opportunities for much greater precision in optical measurement of human motion.

The sensory scope of Virtual Reality systems is determined by how many of the sensory pathways are actively involved. The number might be weighted by whether the senses included are "high data processing potential" or "low information processing potential" in nature. Vision, hearing and touch have a higher capacity for quick, complex transferral and therefore can be seen as high information processing potential senses for communication between humans and computing systems. Thus it is no surprise that these three senses have dominated Virtual Reality (VR) systems. In comparison, the senses of taste and smell are relatively low information processing potential senses and few Virtual Reality (VR) systems engage them. The sensory scale of Virtual Reality systems is the extent of sensory information processing potential that is actively involved by communication between human beings and computing systems. This includes both the size of the signal in comparison with total human perception and the believability of that signal.
