Title: Manipulation of virtual objects through a LeapMotion optical sensor
Keywords: LeapMotion, Gesture Recognition, Virtual Reality, Multimodal

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a gesture-based approach for controlling and manipulating remotely virtual objects in a virtual reality environment through a LeapMotion optical sensor. The interaction is performed by a separate software module, which is installed on the same system, where the virtual reality application is put into operation. The software architecture, implementation and user experience details are discussed and evaluated. In comparison to similar techniques our solution has the advantage to be intuitive, to provide means for creation of user interfaces without physical contact to the sensor, having minimal delay while performing the control actions.
