Abstract
In the near future, more and more personalized products will be offered. Presenting physical, customizable products to the customer in all possible variations can be very complicated and space-consuming. Virtual life-size representations of these kinds of products are common and offer an attractive product experience. An interactive product configuration allows customers to explore several variations on their own. The combination with natural interaction technologies, such as gesture input, also allows users, which are mostly unfamiliar with technology, to explore product variety efficiently. The research presented in this paper focuses on motion-based interaction in public spaces. The application field are trade fair environments and the target group are elderly people with specific needs. We present a design methodology for the development of full-body gestures adapted to our application field of configuring large-sized products (specifically caravans) on large displays in trade fair environments using full-body interaction.
