3D Hand Gesture Recognition for Drone Control in Unity

In this paper, the gesture-sensing device Leap Motion is utilized to operate a drone in the virtual environment set by game engine Unity. Four swiping gestures and two static gestures, including face up, face down, are tested. From the experimental results, static gestures are more recognizable than dynamic gestures. Among different users, drone reacts to gesture control with accuracy more than 90% on average.
