How to use right hand gesture in kinect v2?


I am using kinect (V2) for developing a gesture based application in WPF. I am able to scroll the image, zoom it, get the click event. Now what i need to do is use the right click gesture using kinect. What is the gesture to use right click using kinect or do i need to write any custom code to achieve it. I need to use the right click using gesture in kinect ? Could you please help me with it?


Solution

  • Implementing a gestural system is not the same of implementing a WIMP (Windows-Icons-Menu-Pointer) interface. So you should probably completely overcome the idea of interacting with a desktop and "use a mouse via gestures". If you will decide to follow this latter (wrong) idea, you will risk to produce a not-so-usable interface.

    Anyway, there is no standard "right-click gesture", and this is due to the fact that a gestural interface is different from a classical desktop GUI.

    You should write some custom gesture to do this indeed.

    For more information, take a look to the Human Interface Guidelines 2.0 by Microsoft.
