Various home appliances and electronic devices require remote control in homes, such as air conditioners and televisions, and the number of household remote control devices is increasing. However, the users of remote control devices sometimes experience stress because they might forget where they left a device, or they might have problems selecting the correct control from an array of confusing devices. Thus, we propose an innovative control method for home electronics that detects user gestures, where the prompts for gestures are projected onto the user's body. We also designed gestures and a GUI, which are highly intuitive and easy to understand. We refer to this system as "U-Remo" (ubiquitous + you are the remote control). As an example of this method, we applied the U-Remo system to an air conditioner. We developed a prototype system that comprised an air conditioner embedded device, a depth sensor camera, and a projector, which allowed the detection of user actions and the provision of graphical feedback based on the user's actions. |
