Immersive 3D Environment for Data Centre Monitoring Based on Gesture Based Interaction.

Virtual Reality enhances the user experience regarding perception and presence by immersing the users in a virtual world, where vision and hearing are captivated and elided from the real environment. A key factor for such environments is to make the users perceive the virtual world as real and interact with it. User interaction with VR environments can be achieved through a variety of ways, including computer vision techniques. This work presents the potential uses of gestural interaction as a means of navigation in virtual reality environments in a natural manner. In this direction, four alternatives are proposed and utilized in the demanding context of a use case that requires both extensive travelling and view fine-tuning, such as a data centre room monitoring application.
