Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What is Gesture Based Scroll (Using AI)?

    Gesture Based Scroll (Using AI) is a browser addon that let you scroll a page with hand or facial gestures (without using mouse or keyboard). Before using the addon you need to train it first. Once the addon is fully trained, please click on the start button and make desired gestures in front of the camera (UP, Down and Stop gestures). Please make sure to place your face/ hand exactly in front of the camera (within the grey rectangle). As long as the camera is ON, it will look for your gestures and take action according to your gestures. If you want to stop the inferring process, please click on the stop button once. Read below FAQs to get more info on how to use this addon.

  • 2. How can I work with this addon?

    When you first install the addon, please click on the toolbar icon on the main UI. There are several buttons which are explained in the following. The first thing to do before using the addon is to train it for scrolling UP, Down and Stop actions. Please click on the - Train #1 - button. If the browser asks for the webcam access, accept the permission. Then, place your hand in front of the camera (webcam), and make gestures for UP scroll action. For example you can point your hand to the up direction or turn your face to the up direction. As long as the camera is ON, the addon captures shots from your gesture and uses that for training. The default speed for capturing images is 3 frames per seconds. You can adjust this speed based on your machine. But please note that, increasing the speed will reduces the training time but adds a very high computational burden to your machine and may cause your system to become unresponsive. At the current speed (3 frames per second), please continue training for around 30 seconds for each training step (#1, #2, #3 and finish-up). Once all the training steps are done, you can use the addon to infer your gestures.

  • 3. How can I download the source code for Gesture Based Scroll (Using AI)?

  • 5. When training is done, how can I use the addon?
