Upper-Body Posture Estimation Employing both Palm and Back of the User's Hand-Mounted Cameras

We propose a posture-estimation method that employs wearable devices. By attaching fisheye cameras to the palms and backs of both hands, the system captures the surrounding environment in all directions. The implementation of these features enables the simple and comfortable tracking of fingertip and upper-body motions that can be reflected in a virtual space. This paper describes the concept and implementation of the proposed system.
