Abstract
Using gestures to control Ambient Intelligence environments can result in mismatches between the user’s intention and the perception of the gesture by the system. One way to cope with this problem is to provide the user with an instant feedback on what the system has perceived. In this work, we present an approach for providing visual feedback to users of Ambient Intelligence systems that rely on gestures to control individual devices within their environments. This paper extends our previous work on this topic [1] and introduces several enhancements to the system.
