How to decide if left hand or right hand based on the accelerometer of the phone


Is there any possibility in obtaining information about the hand which holds the kinect based on the accelerometer data?

If not, is there any posibility for obtaining information about the hand which holds the device. I start with the assumption that I am using an iPhone or and Android based phone.

I want to use this data with kinect so that I can display something in the hand which holds the phone, by using the joint tracking provided by the kinect device.


Solution

  • There is no easy way to detect which-handedness, but I bet that left and right handholding produce different accelerometer signatures over time, which you can then test against via machine learning.
