Abstract
The study related to human machine interaction has been done intensively to improve the ways human communication with the machine. In this paper, we present the application that uses of hand and arm gesture control to interact with a 2D medical image 3D volumetric medical visualization. User is allowed to use hand and arm gestures to navigate and manipulate the visualization with the help of Microsoft kinect for Xbox (TM) as the input device. We explained the gestures that can be used to control the visualization as well as the framework and the interaction flow of our application with Kinect sensor in order to perform these operations. User will be able to perform simple navigation and manipulation to the visualization by using this application. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
