Gesture recognition allows users to interact with their electronic devices in a manner that mimics their interaction with the physical world, thus making devices easier to use for all users. Interacting with the software, using gesture and body motion is definitely a cool ideal. However, designing effective interactions is a challenge on a gesture-controlled application. We partnered with the Microsoft Windows Phone Team to develop a Kinect physiotherapy application. This application enables the patients to perform recovery exercises remotely at home. It checks the patient’s body movements against doctors’ instructions and provides real-time instructions to the patients. In order to validate the market value for such an application and further enhance this prototype, we conducted market studies and user tests. In particular, I was in charge of the development of the user interface in this project. Also, I developed guidelines for designing the user interaction of gesture-controlled applications.
