Gesture-controlled technology allows users to engage in virtual activities with motion and movements similar to what\u00a0they would use in the real world to manipulate content intuitively. The idea that simple gestures can be used to control\u00a0computers is opening the way to a host of input devices that look and feel very different from the keyboard and mouse\u00a0\u2014 and that are increasingly enabling our devices to infer meaning from the movements and gestures we make. Voice\u00a0control is used to control devices by means of the human voice.<\/p>\n
MS Kinect allows computers to recognise and interpret voice and natural physical gestures as a means of control. It is\u00a0dramatically changing the way in which people interact with computers. In our experiment, we look at the potential\u00a0value of using Kinect in the lecture room to deliver PowerPoint presentations. We test its feasibility and reliability to\u00a0control MS PowerPoint slides using voice and gesture control.<\/p>\n
