HandMagic: Towards user interaction with inertial measuring units

We present a method of gesture recognition designed to be used with inertial measurement units (IMUs) for 3D user interaction. We provide a drone simulator environment to validate our work. It is important to use motion sensors for user interaction as other devices provide challenges not present in motion-sensors. It is also important since the current field of user interaction is moving towards a multi-modal paradigm and IMUs have been under studied for this field. This work presents the functionality of IMUs with a 6-axis model. We discussed our pilot study and its results, which were satisfactory.
