A pointing method of an object in real space using dominant eye's view field

In this paper, a prototype of an imaging system of dominant eye's view field was developed and a preliminary experiment was performed. When a subject is pointing to an object in the real space, the figure of the index finger is overlapped on or near from that of the pointed object in dominant eye's image. Using the prototype of imaging system, the image of the dominant eye's view field was taken and analyzed. The effectiveness of the proposed method was proven. This method can provide a simple and accurate means to specify pointed object in real space and can be applied to e.g. the welfare system for realizing higher quality of life and so on.
