The Kinetic Space provides a tool which allows everybody to record and automatically recognize customized gestures using depth images as provided by the Kinect or the Xtion sensors. The software observes and comprehends the user interaction by processing the skeleton of the user. The unique analysis routines allow to not only detect simple gestures such as pushing, clicking, forming a circle or waving, but also to recognize more complicated gestures as, for instance, used in dance performances or sign language. In addition it provides a visual feedback how good individual body parts resemble a given gesture.
