Abstract

In this paper we suggest to use new gestures in controlling of the objects in virtual physical laboratory. These custom gestures are based on Leap Motion controller SDK and allows creating any of desirable hand motions. Such an approach allows creating the most intuitive and friendly interaction between human and software. In educational applications as in our case, this way of interaction provides the highest level of knowledge adoption because of native way of information purchasing.
