Leap Motion is the state-of-art commercial gesture sensing system which implements in camera-based sensing technique. However, Leap Motion has its limitation on sensing area hinders user from the smooth interaction. To address this issue, we propose Shadow, a low-cost proactive sensing technique that allows sensors one-dimensionally moving and continuously repositioning to keep under the interacting hand. To prove our concept, we built a conveyor belt to shuttle the Leap Motion. Two studies are con- ducted and the results reveal significant improvement in both coverage area and accuracy.


I’m the first author. I’m resiponsible for the thesis writing, and the hardware part.
