Abstract
In this paper, we describe a nui-based application using a Microsoft Kinect. The system displays a digital representation of a university building, where users can navigate virtually through contact-less gestures. Users can step up and couple their hand with a virtual mouse cursor to navigate through the program such that hand movements to the right lead to cursor movements to the right for example. We present an evaluation of the system, which is based on a 100’ day operation by logging 2.000 user sessions.
