Wavability converts gestures to input by using computer vision to track users' hands and map these movements to various input commands. By just waving, the users have a easier and more intuitive way of issuing several commands.
The implemented functions in HackZurich 2019 were:
- Identify whether the user's fist is opened or closed. Wavability only responds when the user's fist is open, allowing the user to move their hand without inadvertently entering commands.
- Detect the user's hand moving laterally, which is interpreted as either "undo" or "redo", depending on the direction.
