A pointing method of an object in real space using dominant eye´s view field

In this paper, a prototype of an imaging system of dominant eye´s view field was developed and a preliminary experiment was performed. When a subject is pointing to an object in the real space, the figure of the index finger is overlapped on or near from that of the pointed object in dominant eye´s image. Using the prototype of imaging system, the image of the dominant eye´s view field was taken and analyzed. The effectiveness of the proposed method was proven. This method can provide a simple and accurate means to specify pointed object in real space and can be applied to e.g. the welfare system for realizing higher quality of life and so on.
