Parametric 3D Hand Model

In virtual reality, particularly in gaming applications, the hands used are generic representations that move using a controller. An individualized hand representation can create a more immersive experience. If the hands being controlled by the user are similar with his, the interaction with the virtual world is more effective and meaningful. We present a parametric 3D human hand model from Leap Motion sensor's data. Piecewise geometric 3D shapes, such as ellipsoid and truncated elliptic cone, are used to generate the 3D hand. The dimensions of the hand are obtained from the Leap Motion sensor and used as parameters to make the 3D hand model.
