AbstractAs the applications delivered by cellular phones are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the importance of choosing an input strategy is also growing. Touch-screens can simplify navigation by far but the vast majority of phones on the market are not equipped with them. Cameras, on the other hand, are widespread even amongst low-end phones: in this paper we propose a vision-based pointing system that allows the user to control the pointer's position by just waving a hand, with no need for additional hardware.
