Introduction
1 Introduction
The GestPoint system is a revolutionary program that allows the user to control a computer with simple gestures that navigate or initiate commands. Unlike touch screens, the user doesn't actually have to touch anything, allowing for higher security and protection of the computer and display monitor.
GestPoint also works with screens of any size and at any distance from the user.
The AirPoint configuration is a compact, portable unit that creates a tracking area in free space.
Pre-configured for plug and play usability, it can be used at any distance from the display and can handle any lighting conditions. The AirPoint system is ideal for quick and easy set up. Unless you have built a custom AirPoint unit, there will be no need to perform the Full Setup procedure.
1.1
Summary of the Technology
The GestPoint system tracks the motion of objects, like a hand, within a 3 dimensional area seen by two cameras. This system is unique in that it does not require the user to touch anything or wear any devices, and uses only the video image to determine the location of the hand.
It works by finding the contrast between the brightness of the hand and the background, and using this information to find the 2 dimensional location of the hand in each camera view. GestPoint then reconstructs the images from the two cameras to get a 3 dimensional location of the hand.
Some GestPoint systems (including AirPoint), use infrared illumination in lieu of a stripe. A frame around the interactive area is not required when infrared is used. However, infrared systems cannot be used in environments with high levels of ambient infrared light.

Introduction
1.2
GestPoint System Resolution
The resolution of the GestPoint system depends on the resolution of the camera, the length of the lens and the distance from the camera to the tracking region.
The cameras have a resolution of 640(h) x 480(v). The vertical resolution determines the minimum thickness of the stripe (except for AirPoint and the Overhead Tracking Frame, which do not require a stripe) and the horizontal resolution determines the resolution of the GestPoint system. However, since we are combining the images from two cameras, we can not immediately assume that the resolution of the system is 640 anything.
To answer this we must first understand that the area measured by each pixel in the camera is determined by the length of the lens and the distance from the camera. A long lens with a high-powered zoom will mean that each pixel sees a very small area and increases the resolution of the system. Also, a camera that's mounted very far away decreases the resolution of the system. Let’s assume that the cameras are mounted very close to the tracking region and that the horizontal field of view is exactly 90 degrees. Each camera has a horizontal resolution of 640 pixels, and each pixel will see an angle of 90 degrees/640 pixels, or 0.140625 degrees.
When the two cameras’ images are combined, the shape of the pixels is determined by the intersection of the rays from each camera. In the schematic below, it is clear that in certain sections of the tracking region, the resolution is better in some areas and worse in others, and that in some sections, the resolution is higher in one dimension than it is in the other. With 640 pixels per horizontal line on each camera, a typical GestPoint system will have over 300,000 effective pixels of various shapes and sizes.
GestPoint includes software sub-pixel resolution enhancement, which estimates a higher resolution position. The cursor appears to move smoothly between the "effective pixels" described above when a user drags a finger or hand across the screen. This gives the illusion that the system is tracking at the full display resolution even when the display has a significantly higher resolution than the camera.
However, because the additional resolution is estimated in software, the accuracy is limited to that described above.

4 Full Setup
Full Setup will only need to be done if you have built a custom AirPoint unit using GestureTek components.
For the turnkey product, do not make any adjustments in Full Setup.
The full setup wizard will walk you through the camera setup procedure in simple steps. Once complete, your custom AirPoint is ready to be used.
Camera Control
The method of camera control is chosen and the setting of Shutter and Gain for each camera is performed in the Camera Control dialog box. There are three methods, as follows:
§ Manual Controlled - Settings are kept constant regardless of changing light environments.
§ Software Controlled - The software will adjust the Shutter and Gain to changing light conditions, allowing for reliable performance throughout the day.
§ Camera Controlled - The cameras adjust themselves to changing light conditions.
It is recommended that the Manual Controlled method be used with the AirPoint system.
Do Not Adjust
The following setup screens are not applicable to the AirPoint system. Do not make any adjustments in them.
§ Camera Position Measurements
§ Primary Control Space
§ Camera Alignment
§ Motion Sensor
Select Strips
The Select Strips feature defines the tracking area of the unit. The only time it is likely that you would have to perform this adjustment with the AirPoint system, is if there was a strong light that was being captured within the strip and interfering with the tracking. If you couldn't move the whole unit away, you could follow the steps in the Select Strips section to reposition the strip.
The following section will describe each of the camera setup steps and how to enter the correct information.

To check the camera image
§ On the GestPoint console, click advanced options and select the Filter tab.
The Filter tab allows the user to adjust how the tracker determines the contrast levels required to detect the object. These are advanced features that should not be adjusted without contacting
Technical Support. This tab does have good diagnostic value, however, and can be used to detect a poor Stripe Selection or cameras that have moved.
A good image with no object in the camera views looks like the image below. Notice that the
Result lines are solid, indicating that no object is detected.
A good image with a finger in the camera views looks like the image below. Notice that the
Result lines have a single white spot corresponding to the location of the finger.

A bad image, caused by poor Stripe Selection or a camera that is bumped, looks like the image below. Notice that there are multiple white areas on the Results lines. If you see this contact
Technical Support for instructions.

To smooth the mouse cursor movement
1. On the GestPoint console, click advanced options and select the Smoothing tab.
2. Set the Small Movement region (indicated by the small red box in the image), using the Horizontal and Vertical Distance arrows.
The Small Movement setting determines the distance that the hand can travel before there is any movement of the mouse cursor. This should be set to a small size for Stripe configurations, and larger for Arbitrary. The Small Movement should normally have a Weight of 1.0, meaning that movement inside the box is 100% eliminated.
3. Set the Large Movement region (indicated by the small yellow box in the image), in the same manner as above.
The Large Movement setting determines the distance that the hand can travel that causes a slow movement of the mouse cursor. For Stripe configurations, this box should be the same size as the Small Movement box, which will eliminate any “sliding” effect of the mouse cursor. For
Arbitrary configurations, the box should be larger than the Small Movement box, and have a
Weight of approximately 0.5, meaning that movement of the hand in the region between the red and yellow boxes will cause 50% of that movement in the mouse cursor.
