Abstract: In this paper, we propose a real world UI that uses head gestures. This UI detects user head motion obtained in images by head mounted camera (HMC). It estimates the relative position and distance between a user's head and objects user is viewing. To prevent erroneous judgment, a head-specific motion model is applied in gesture recognition. As a feedback to the user, detailed object information is displayed on head mounted display (HMD). This UI allows hands-free interaction with surrounding objects. We show the UI's effectiveness by experiments.
