Presents a real time gesture recognition method for interactive systems which can perform an interaction like human communication. This method recognizes a user's gesture and the degree information of gesture using the eigenspace constructed from multi input image sequences. This eigenspace represents an approximate 3 dimensional information of gesture, so that complicated gestures which may have a self-occlusion and confusion in a single input image can be recognized correctly. Using our method, we realize a real time interactive system, the virtual conductor system, which indicates the usefulness of our method
