intel® realsense™ technology enables us to redefine how we interact with computing devices, including allowing users to interact naturally through gestures. To help you understand the development of natural user Interface (UNI) applications for F200 cameras using the intel® realsense™ Software Development Kit, members of the Intel Perceptual Computing Division experience design and development team recorded 15 short videos to illustrate. The goal of this series of videos is to help you design a successful user interface experience from scratch in your project. These videos include a variety of topics, from understanding user interaction areas and hand tracking considerations to User wizards and testing basics. You can watch the entire series of videos, or choose a separate video from below.

When developing intel® realsense™ applications that use the natural user interface, it is important to consider user requirements. User testing is one of the best ways to determine how users can use the features you provide. This tutorial provides best practices to help developers understand how to perform user testing to create better F200 depth camera applications. Explanation: Lisa Mauney.

How to design for hands-on interaction | intel® realsense™ Camera (F200)

intel® realsense™ technology can detect both hands, but you may encounter problems specific to hands interaction when developing gesture apps for F200 depth cameras. This tutorial provides some best practices and simple solutions for these issues. Explanation: Lisa Mauney.

How to provide user tutorials and instructions | intel® realsense™ camera (F200)

When using intel® realsense™ technology in your application, you can provide the end user with one or more new interactive methods, such as gestures. To ensure a positive experience, you may want to provide users with a guide to help them understand how to interact with the technology. This tutorial provides best practices to help you teach and mentor users. Explanation Person: Chandrika Jayant.

How to minimize user fatigue: Time and Replication | intel® realsense™ Camera (F200)

When designing a natural user interface application for intel® realsense™ technology, ensure that user fatigue is taken into account and that some breaks are built to enable users to interact better with the app. This tutorial contains best practices designed to help you design your app for the F200 depth of field camera. Explanation Person: Chandrika Jayant.

How to understand motion speed | intel® realsense™ camera (F200)

When developing with intel® realsense™ technology, you need to understand the speed and precision of gestures and how they affect your app's user experience. The best practices in this tutorial show you how to give your app the feedback you need to provide a better control experience for your users. The person who explained: Robert Cooksey.

How to use background segmentation | intel® realsense™ Camera (F200)

Partitioning is one of the features that developers can use when using intel® realsense™ technology. This tutorial contains best practices for demonstrating how to use this feature in apps built for the F200 depth of field camera. The person who explained: Robert Cooksey.

How to understand real space and relative screen space | intel® realsense™ Camera (F200)

When creating an app for intel® realsense™ technology, developers must understand the relationship between screen space and physical space. This tutorial provides best practices to help your app make better use of the F200 depth camera's running space. The person who explained: Robert Cooksey.

How to design around occlusion: hand and User masking | intel® realsense™ camera (F200)

An FAQ for intel® realsense™ application development in gestures is masking, which includes the user's hand-masking screen or one hand covering the other hand. If the application does not handle this situation well, its problems can have a negative impact on the user experience. This tutorial provides best practices to avoid occlusion problems when using the F200 depth camera. Explanation: Lisa Mauney.

How to minimize user fatigue: Support for Natural motion | intel® realsense™ Camera (F200)

When designing a natural user interface app that uses intel® realsense™ technology, remember that users interact in a physical space, and your design should integrate and support natural motion. This tutorial provides best practices to help you count the actual natural movement of your users into an application for F200 depth-of-field camera design. The person who explained: Robert Cooksey.

How to understand the Interactive zone | intel® realsense™ camera (F200)

Understanding the physical space users interact with your intel® realsense™ application ensures that users have a positive experience with your app. This tutorial contains best practices designed to help you understand the interactive area using the F200 depth camera. Explanation Person: Chandrika Jayant.

How to use visual feedback: Interacting with objects | intel® realsense™ Camera (F200)

Users should always be aware of which objects on the screen can interact with in an intel® realsense™ application. The best practices discussed in this tutorial provide some visual feedback to help your users better interact with objects in your app. Explanation Person: Chandrika Jayant.

how to minimise user fatigue: Understanding Limitations of input Accuracy | intel® realsense™ camera (F200)

There are many factors that limit the input accuracy of natural user interface applications with intel® realsense™ technology. When you deploy your app, you should consider that user interaction may drift or require buffering. This tutorial contains best practices to help developers reduce the problems users encounter when they are doing precise motion. The person who explained: Robert Cooksey.

How to develop for multiple shapes | intel® realsense™ Camera (F200)

When developing applications to take advantage of intel® realsense™ technology, you need to understand all the types of devices that can interact with your app. Each form factor (including laptops, tablets, and all-in-one) requires different tapered areas to be considered. This tutorial provides best practices to help you develop applications that use the F200 depth camera across platforms. Explanation Person: Chandrika Jayant.

How to use visual feedback: Cursors | intel® realsense™ camera (F200)

In the natural user interface intel® realsense™ application, users need to know where they are in the interaction area in order to gain superior control. Providing a screen cursor is one of the best ways to manage the user experience. This tutorial provides best practices to provide hand position hints when developing apps that use the F200 depth camera. Chandrika Jayant.

How to design for different range options | intel® realsense™ Camera (F200)

If the range of the F200 camera is 20-120 cm, then there is no need for the intel® realsense™ application to cover the entire range. This tutorial provides best practices for demonstrating how to use the F200 depth camera for different use cases supported by the camera. Explanation: Lisa Mauney.
