Interactions
It autonomously tracks regions of interest, and changes behaviours according to subtle cues, including instructors’ body movements, gestures, and speech.
Most of the time, Stargazer follows the instructors' hand actions.
Instructors can use gestures to change what the robot tracks. For example, a pointing gesture has the robot focus on the object being pointed at.
They can further use speech to change camera parameters, such as angle and zoom levels.
Our participants were able to create how-to videos on a diverse range of topics using Stargazer. Please see our paper for more details, and the supplemental materials for more video results.
