Abstract

Microsoft Kinect was initially developed for gaming and has since been used in a variety of applications. The work here addressed some of the challenges for it to be used as a gesture driven presentation application. The proposed use of Hidden Markov Model to provide a smoother, and hence a step towards a more natural movement, is demonstrated.
