A Set of Smart Ring Gestures for Drone Control

Abstract

We present in this paper the results of a frequency analysis of gesture commands frequently employed for human- drone interaction in the scientific literature, and we propose a set of gestures for controlling drones that can be performed with smart rings. Our method consists in the analysis of thirty-seven articles, which we examined closely to extract commands for human-drone interaction, including voice, gesture, and multi- modal input. Based on our meta-analysis, we present a set of six groups of commands for human-drone interaction together with a set of smart ring gestures to interact with and control drones. Our results can be used to inform the design of new interactive applications for controlling smart-ring drones.
