Does anyone have a detailed list of all the built-in gestures on the new SDK?

The gestures aren't there, that document just have a guideline for using gesture in applications/games.

According to the documentation, the SDK only supports these gestures by now:

  • spreadfingers
  • fist
  • tap
  • thumb_down
  • thumb_up
  • two_fingers_pinch_open
  • v_sign

There is a way to load extra gesture packs, but it's not available by now:

"Working with multiple gesture packs is a reserved feature. The SDK currently works with the default gesture pack only."

I have to say: I don't know if it's my camera or not, but the sdk is terrible to recognize my gestures. The Perceptual one was doing a much better job :(

@Andre, what camera are you using with the RealSense SDK?

Hi Shane,
In the Gold release you have the following built in gestures (you can see the list in the manual or in PXCHandData header):

The gestures in the default gesture package (installed with the hand module by default) are:
            "spreadfingers"  - hand open facing the camera.
            "thumb_up" - hand closed with thumb pointing up.
            "thumb_down"  - hand closed with thumb pointing down.
            "two_fingers_pinch_open"  - hand open with thumb and index finger touching each other.
            "v_sign" - hand closed with index finger and middle finger pointing up.
            "fist" - all fingers folded into a fist. The fist can be in different orientations as long as the palm is in the general direction of the camera.
            "full_pinch" - all fingers extended and touching the thumb. The pinched fingers can be anywhere between pointing directly to the screen or in profile. 
            "swipe" - moving the hand from one side to the other when the palm is facing the side and fingers are more or less towards the camera.
            "tap" - a hand in a natural relaxed pose is moved forward as if pressing a button.
            "wave" - an open hand facing the screen. The wave gesture's length can be any number of repetitions.

 

Andre, the LoadGesturePack is reserved for future use, so that you will be able to add new gestures once they are released, without having to install/build/compile anything.
Again, this is not available currently.
