Oliver Irschitz has created the iTube. In the iTube, participants use natural interfaces to explore the virtual 3D spaces projected onto its large screen with a small set of pointing and command gestures. A robust computer-vision-based, full-body immersive interface empowers surfing inside the cityscape. A separate computer-vision-based hand-tracking and gesture-recognition system drives navigation inside the BrainSpace. These interfaces work in real time and require only standard computers and small cameras. They do not require special calibration procedures, do not limit body movements with cables or tethers, nor do they require wearing special suits with markers for tracking.
