MoKey – A Motion based Keyboard Interpreter

Eckert, Martina; Lopez, M.; Lazaro, C.; Meneses Chaus, Juan Manuel

Abstract:

In this paper the authors present a new middleware for mapping gestures, obtained by a motion sensing camera device, to key events which are consumed by a standard off-the-shelf application. The aim is twofold: accessibility for users which are not able to use the keyboard because of physical impairments and the use of standard games for doing physical exercises. Hereby, special attention is laid on the adaptability to user requirements and easiness of configuration for the user himself and non-expert assistants. The actual state of our system is compared to similar proposals in terms of usability and performance, finally future working directions are outlined.
