In this paper we describe PoCoDeR (POinting gestures to COntrol DEvices Remotely) a remote control system us ing pointing gestures to make the user’s life more com fortable. As gestures we define only pointing gestures per formed with a whole arm. All gestures are captured by two high-dynamic-range(HDR) cameras. As an interface to the devices we use the European Installation Bus. The scene is represented by a full 3D room model in which any device can be placed by extern measurement, a calibration plate or by a pointing gesture of the user himself. A calibrated stereo camera system is used to acquire 3D data as input for the scene. The motion is captured in both images of the stereo setup and stored in a moved contour graph of the full scene. From this contour graph we derive the gestures based on the context. Each detected pre-defined gesture de fines a “user’s wish” which is accomplished in respect to a context model. This is done to relieve the user of the hard decisions on how to achieve the best results for his wishes.
