Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we developed an aerial handwriting interface. Users can write text in the air by using pen device with built-in accelerometers and gyroscopes. First, the system can detect and distinguish writing motions from other motions occurred in life activities. Then, handwritten characters are recognized and writers are identified from those handwriting motions. In order to utilize the system in real environments, recognition tests were carried out in various situations, such as writer independent model, writing surface-free and pen holding style-free.
