Abstract

Objective: To present GestureCollection, a set of applications designed to offer cognitive stimuli and motor coordination, through an unconventional way of human-computer interaction. Methods: The applications were based on Natural User Interface, Open Natural Interaction and gesture recognition from depth images provided by the Kinect sensor. Results: GestureCollection contains three applications (GesturePuzzle, GestureChess and GestureMaps) that allow gestural interaction with virtual reality environments through movements of upper and lower limbs. Conclusions: This set of applications allows muscle recruitment in different ranges of movement and speed of execution, besides showing potential to reduce the monotony of motor therapy.
