Motion Interactive System with Omni-Directional Display

Majority of present applications used buttons or touch panels as their human-computer interface. The limitation of these methods is that users can not interact with the equipments in a natural way, since people should operate the equipments according to certain rules which are arranged beforehand. This paper proposes a novel interactive system which is controlled by user's natural motion. An omni-directional display goes with the system and it gives users full field of view. In addition, the system contains a target following photography equipment and it provides on-line video chat and remote monitoring functions. The interactive system can be considered as a new form of human-computer interface and the advantages and potential of it are discussed in this paper. Finally, a demonstration and experimental results are given to evaluate the validity of the system.
