Maggioni, Christoph (1993): A Novel Device for Using the Hand as a Human-Computer Interface. In: Alty, James L., Diaper, Dan and Guest, D. (eds.) Proceedings of the Eighth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VIII August 7-10, 1993, Loughborough University, UK. pp. 191-202.

“Making today's complex computer applications easier and more intuitive to use and to learn is one of the main issues in research on human-computer interaction. Investigating the diverse mechanisms of natural human communication and mapping these to multimodal human-machine interfaces should lead to qualitative improvement in human-machine communication and thus significantly increase the usability of computers. Two central observations regarding human communication and behavior can be made: people have a natural ability to move and act in their three-dimensional environment, and they naturally use gestures as a means of communication. Three-dimensional representations of real environments form a new means of communication between man and machine, making explicit use of mechanisms which humans have learned and experienced during their whole lives in moving themselves and manipulating objects. We present a novel three-dimensional input device that allows applications to be controlled by gestures of the human hand. Hand position and orientation are obtained using a video camera and image processing techniques. The system works in real-time and is integrated into a three-dimensional environment. Our input device has proven to be very reliable and is more natural to use than other conventional computer input devices systems.”
