Implementation of media player simulator using Kinect sensors

This paper proposes evaluation and implementation for media player system by hand gestures using Kinect sensor. The hardware consists of the Kinect for Windows with infra and color camera sensors to capture the depth and plane images, respectively, while the control program is written by VC#. When users execute the control program, the functions of the Media player system can be easily controlled by some simple hand gesture motions through the Kinect detection sensors as practically to manipulate the push-bottoms of the media player system by mouse or keyboard on the screen. By capturing the hand waving speeds, the data to calculate the average hand movement speed are used to setup the speed threshold as the default in our system. In experiments, we analyze the hands' movement speeds sensing by different ages of users to obtain the hand moving average speeds and correct the threshold speed of the posture recognition on Kinect for the media player system in Windows 7 operation system.
