The MiTable Multi-Touch Gestures Engine

Published: 15 November 2015 Publication History

Abstract

From smartphones to large multi-touch surfaces, different devices and applications need a technique to match the input from each user to a known action. The multi-touch gestures recognition problem has been studied for a long time and has obtained its most expressive results in the past decade. However, the multi-user scenario for large multi-touch tables imposes several challenges to existing gestures recognizers. In this paper, we propose a new multi-touch gestures engine which is capable of adding multi-user capabilities to existing state-of-art gestures recognizers.
